Easier way for adding custom synchronization rules #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
A suggestion from a user: Create an easier way for adding custom
synchronization rules.

For example, a pseudo protocol like the custom button extension uses
(custombutton://). In other words Google's rule might look like this when
posted...

searchboxsync://[Google][regexp][^http://[^.]*.google\..*/[^(?|/)]*\?(.*&)?(as_)
?q=([^&]+)]

Then all the user would have to do is click on the above link in order to
add the rule to the extension. Also, it would certainly pay off to have
some sort of central repository for the rules. A wiki would work nicely
since everyone could edit/update rules as sites change.
