I wonder where they are getting their inspiration from?

with multiple search engines to choose... interesting.

I like that.

Tesseract · Oct 11, 2005, 11:27 AM

I'm lovin' it.

Their 'real' product (essentially Google Suggest for the safari search bar) is nice too.

itistoday · Oct 11, 2005, 11:33 AM

OMG. That is amazing.

(Though I remember google already having something quite similar to that)

brapper · Oct 11, 2005, 11:34 AM

That's actually pretty cool.

While many say that Dave's an asshole, at least he's a genius.

What does it do that Google doesn't ?

It's just playful, but not more usefull...

This'd actually be kinda cool if Apple added this to the google search bar in Safari... like the same sort of idea...

RAILhead · Oct 11, 2005, 02:51 PM

Heh

I like the results so far.

http://www.inquisitorx.com is a plugin for safari that gives you the same thing. well not the same thing since the current version doesn't do the large list. (coming in v2)

good looking too, very Panther-like

JoshuaZ · Oct 12, 2005, 07:00 AM

Cool. I like it a lot.

The beta version on the web and the original version are separate things...
Beta is a webform using AJAX to do it's stuff and the original is a plugin for Safari that would take over the search field and try and guess what you were typing

i was just replying to salty's post since he didn't seem to notice/know that the /beta is a web based version of the plugin (as King Bob On The Cob said).

sorry to resurrect this post, but i wanted to tell everyone that inquisitor 2 has been released for safari. it brings the web based one's features to safari.

when inquisitor came out he mentioned that it would be free. version 2 is now an experiment in donation ware. to get the download link for inquisitor 2 you have to go through a paypal page. you can donate as much or as little as you feel the software is worth, and then you will be emailed a download link.

i paid this morning since and the download link was something with my email address in it, so i guess you can't just share your download link around. but you could always just send the file around. will this experiment work? who knows.

Salty · Oct 18, 2005, 11:59 PM

Please post the download link I'd like to use it and don't have pay pal. Not to mention my extra cash goes other places than Donation Ware (yah I'd like to pay, but there's lots of things I'd like to do, highest on that though would be things like supporting our church's youth group and what not)

mdc · Oct 19, 2005, 04:42 PM

no, i'm not posting the download link.
if you want the download link that badly, email the creator of the app, and tell him your story.

Salty · Oct 19, 2005, 08:38 PM

Frankly I guess I can live without it.
