You might also be asking what this has to do with the Kubuntu Users mailing list? Well the very first 'search box' is [only] for searching the Kubuntu Users mailing list! Just type in your query and hit the 'Search' button - you will be taken to a Google page with search results ONLY from this list! Thanks to Matt Flaschen for that one. Also the very first Menu list contains a ton of useful links, organized by category, for Linux enthusiasts - like you and I.

The page would look pretty boring with just one search box. Also I didn't really want to add anymore javascript than is necessary. Apart from that I think it would over-complicate things.

You want to quit trying to do that!

KDE4 has the web browser widget. It's not enough for real web browsing, but for looking up information quickly with a start page like this, it should suffice. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-*-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-*-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه*-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-*-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-*-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |
