At one of the two paths, Finder will show to you:
AcidSearch.bundle
Set it aside.
Quit Safari.
Launch Safari.

Come on Steve Jobs! How about putting the user before profits and incorporating multiple search engine options. It's how it should have been from the start.
I, for one, have reinstalled 3.1 with AcidSearch again. If this ever fails, I'll be switching to Firefox before resorting to Safari 3.2 or its emasculated successors.

Safari 3.2.1 as well as the WebKit nightlies run fine with 0.70b3 under both Tiger and Leopard, I found.

> multiple search engine options.
A downgrade of well-developed Safari, for compatibility with an un-developed product, is not a recommended approach. Are you confident that your persistence with a downgraded product combination will allow you to receive all critical security updates?
You can use another product that places multiple user-configurable engines in the search menu. I do so.
WebKit is open source
http://webkit.org/ and there's nothing to prevent us from contributing or improving code. The 'greedy exclusivity' description does not fairly reflect the open nature of the software.

Pretty please?
Disappointed. Maybe a new version will fix, but until then, this one's a no-go for me. Hopefully developer will keep plowing ahead, I'd love to use (and would even pay a bit for) a functional version.

I think the developer may be underestimating the pent-up desire for this great little app to work dependably again on Safari, or even other browsers. I think if he/she were to put out a stable refined release that would really work dependably, he/she could rightfully charge a fair amount for it, and people, at least I, would gladly pay it.
And perhaps he/she is working on it. And they may also have a life way beyond silly little Acidsearch.
Anyway, here's hoping for an update soon, free or not. The ability to merely right click in any Internet search box and create a search channel in Acidsearch is awesome, not to mention it's other numerous capabilities/features. Unfortunately, I can use Acidsearch for several weeks with no problem, but eventually it causes Safari to crash absolutely every time a search of any kind is executed from within Acidsearch.

Working under OS 10.4.11 and Safari 3.1.1 and appears to be running fine. Thanks for the great work developer.

The *only* reason I use Safari as my default instead of Camino (AcidSearch for Camino would be the ultimate one browser solution for me.)
I don't think the developer spends much time on it because he can't afford to, so I would urge everyone to send him a small donation if possible (I am *not* affiliated with him in any way, I just think this is the greatest piece of add-on software I regularly use and it's too bad it can't be ported or at least polished out of beta status for Safari 3.) (He's also very responsive to emails, or at least has been to me.)

Maybe you can get info that way.

I just got a response from the developer because I made a small donation but he didn't mention how much time (if any) he's spending on it. If you send me a private message I'll give you his new email address (I don't want to put it on the web without his permission.)
My dream: AcidSearch for Camino-->the ultimate solution to the multiple-browser question!

In the AcidSearch Preferences -> Options pane there is there is an empty box for:-
Key to Show Search Channels Menu : [ ]
If this is set to nothing then Spacebar and Return bring up the window. If you set this to a key combination then it frees up Spacebar to actually type a space and the Return key submits the request rather than having to use the Enter key.
Hope this helps. I was just about to deinstall it. However when I first installed 0.7b3 this key press box was sort of hiding behing the Default Channel pulldown menu but after a while it appeared in its proper place at the bottom. Maybe it was reading corrupted settings from my previous 0.62 installation?

WebKit nightlies open a new window at launch, new tab works too. Opening a URL in the native window works, in a new tab the same action causes WebKit to crash, too.
A new install of Safari 3.1.1 (even through Pacifist with the option of replacing everything) doesn't help.
Removing the AcidSearch bundle from the SIMBL->Plugins folder restores Safari and WebKit action to normal, every time.
However, the same combination works flawlessly on a PB 1,5 GHz 15'', as well as under Leopard 10.5.3 on a 1st gen Mac Pro.

... should do it.

In the Edit window, it still has very buggy transition as you click on each tab. Some still have strange overlay problem. ON the Search Channels, the Action Menu does nothing when I click it. This also means when I add a new folder or a seperator, I can't delete them if I want to. In addition, I can't click on the Help, 1Password, and AcidSearch 0.7b4 tabs on any page.
I really miss using AcidSearch. Thank you for all your hard work :) Please make it rock again.
Leopard 10.5.0, PowerBook Ti G4 1Ghz, 1Gb ram, SIMBL 0.82.
Any ideas?

Also, buggy visual render with the AcidSearch Preferneces window. One page had a drop-down menu overlap with customizable Shortcut setup, which it suppose to stay on the bottom of the page; the first line text is also half-overlap by its toolbar.
I still keep my five-star rating for this plug-in. It still works perfectly with my 10.4.10 Tiger. I hope the developer can fix these bugs and make it work again on Leopard.
It makes AcidSearch load for me and i see my search lists but AcidSearch kills the contextual menu in Safari.
Hopefully it'll get fixed soon - having AcidSearch AND PithHelmet back in Safari in one day, too good to be true!

If it is still not working for you, then you should contact the developer.

Wait and see
