hotkey search in firefox?
« on: October 27, 2009, 11:18:39 PM »

iTunes is sloooooow.  pulpTunes is fast and lightweight.  I'd love to be able to do quick hotkey searches to my localhost pulpTunes from my Firefox URL bar using its "add keyword" search bookmarks feature, but pulpTunes is so JavaScript-centric that I can't figure out how.  A little help?

That's a great idea. Unfortunately not possible yet because you can't ask for a search result through the URL.
pulpTunes sends a search query like this:
http://localhost:15000/search/searchterm/startIndex=0&results=20
but that returns a json object that can't be used directly.
But this shouldn't be too difficult to implement in a following version. I've added the request in Kenai.

Cheers,
Alejandro

This will be included in version 1.2.1 for sure.
