Unfortunately I didn’t have time to build in a way to store search topics in cookies, maybe next version.

I was surprised at the lack of search operators. I expected to be able to search just the title or return only unread posts.

Here’s how to modify the script to add your own search topics.
Open the script up and all you’ll need to modify is this section.

var smarttopics = new Array;
smarttopics = {
"Buzz" : "leak|deadpool|acquisition|rumor|layoff|merger",
"Apple" : "apple|iphone",
"Microsoft" : "microsoft|windows"
};

Say you want to add a topic called Sun and it searches for Sun and Java. Add the following line above the “Apple”… line.

“Sun” : “sun|java”,

Removing a topic is just deleting the line with that topic on it. The biggest thing you’ll need to watch is the comma’s, make sure each line except the last has a comma after it.

Here’s just the search bar script, twitter_search.user.js

I also found out that Friendfeed updated their api with a way to query for a url. So i built a greasemonkey script to add a link to friendfeed on every url. I couldn’t figure out how to put the icon after the link and javascript isn’t something I’m an expert at. So far the url search only works via the api and not on the search part of Friendfeed, so the icon opens a window with the xml output of the api call. I fix this when you can search for a url on the main Friendfeed interface.

Be kind these are the first greasemonkey scripts I’ve made.
