LMARTINA  HELP!! am having continuous trouble with AcidSearch and Safari 3.2.1... on Notebook G4 Leopard 10.5.6, Have same OS on G5 PPC Desktop using Safari 3.1.2, so far no problems. Still want to know how do I disable or delete Acid Search from Safari 3.2.1?   
(Version 0.7b4)

LUKE_ARMSTRONG  I cannot overstate the impact of this little program on Safari. With AcidSearch Safari becomes the best browser by far. I then had to remove it to prevent 3.2 from crashing continually and, without it, the crippling inconvenience caused by Apples greedy exclusivity deal with Google, renders Safari a hobbled parady of what it ought to be.

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.

SIG1  Unfortunately, v.0.7b4 no longer works with the latest Safari upgrade v.3.2.1 (5525.27.1). Constant crashing.  
(Version 0.7b4)

APIKOROS  Version 0.7b4 appears to be incompatible with Safari 3.2.x. Unwilling to do without AcidSearch, I've backed down to Safari 3.1.2. I've also petitioned the author for an update of AcidSearch.

Pretty please?

DRYWALL  I love the idea of this. But on my machine (10.5.4, Safari 3.1.2) the Preferences are so munged that I'm not able to customize it at all. I can't delete channels, for example. The action menu and help menus do nothing. The "Options" section has elements overlapping one another and half the options appear to be positioned where I can access them. The meanings of various settings are very obtuse. And so on and so forth.

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.

GARY W.  Free software is great, but I also believe in people getting paid for their work, certainly nothing wrong with that.

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.

MACERICG  Very nice. This is the one feature from Firefox (via add ons) that I sorely miss when I'm in Safari. With the submenus, this actually works BETTER than the Firefox option.

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