<js_search_bar> create a framed-bar for alternative sites

DeeNewcum commented 12 years ago

Some queries really have alternative answers:

"man" can go to man.cx or site:linux.die.net or site:manpages.ubuntu.com
"thesaurus" could go to panlexicon, or thesaurus.com
"spell" could go to onelook.com, or wiktionary, or google's define:, or lots of other alternatives
"perl" could go to google site:search.cpan.org, or http://perldoc.perl.org, or metacpan.org

The solution for these is to create something like the DiggBar or reddit frame in response to these queries, and have the header-bar have links to looking up the same query on alternative sites.

Outstanding question: Is it possible to dynamically create a frameset in Javascript?

A working version is available on the diggbar branch. See functions create_diggbar_frameset() and show_diggbar().

This hasn't been integrated into the mainline yet. Currently, there are major problems getting Google searches to show up within the frame. See details at 1cd01b2a11
