If you’ve had a chance to check out my 48 hour search project from about 2-3 weeks ago (i don’t really remember, and i’m to lazy to double check, live with it…hehehe), you might have noticed that the results from Google and/or Windows Live Search isn’t always correct. And if you’ve used Internet Explorer to attempt to view the site, well shit, i haven’t even dared doing that cause of the fear! the fear man!

Anyway, jokes aside (or so you are lead to believe), the classes handling the results from the different search engines are far from perfect. The Yahoo class works alright cause of Yahoo’s extremely easy to use search API, but Google and Windows Live’s API’s are far greater pains in the ass to use…… Hence, i didn’t have time to implement them properly (48 hour side project and all, remember? ), but i will be fixing it at some point soon… (hopefully before i mature enough to require reading glasses just to see my own hands)

As for Internet Explorer compatibility, it’s coming, with one or two or all UI elements removed since IE just doesn’t render PNG’s properly even with any and all available fixes (during the limited one page load test i conducted on a PNG heavy page with the fix and IE).

So if you’re lucky, there might be a TITLE tag left for IE users when i’m done removing incompatible elements

And in other news, OMFG i want (need) a MacBook Pro !!! (anybody feel like donating their kidney (i’m seriously joking ))… zee ol’ PowerBook is just not fast enough to run itunes and toast my breakfast at the sametime anymore… darn advances and updates to technology!

over and out, hopefull you haven’t died from brain damage while reading my rant

…so, here i am two days later after i felt like making some uber-combined search thing… lol… its uber-alpha/beta/omega/malaka/whatever, so don’t complain if it doesn’t work… lol

End result, its cool, but i’m far from happy with it, somewhat sloppy code, and the worst browser compatibility of any project i’ve ever done, Safari and Firefox should be alright, IE is outta question with all the png’s and shit i’m using in the design… lol

anyway, botton line, it works, thats the only reason its online, cause i’m a perfectionist at heart, and i’m not happy with it right now… but i don’t have anymore time to throw away on it right now… lol… not to mention, that it became kinda bloated and sluggish cause my design inspiration took a turn for the weird… lol

but but… check it out for yourself and see what you think…
