Hi, I am having difficulties to reproduce this. Could you let me know some details of your setup? (LIke Firefox version, add-on-version, operating system, specific search engine that is not working [f.i., the Google web search works fine for me when I enter a string like ‘עִבְרִית’] Are you searching from the add-on or from one of the search fields on the web site?)

I am unable to log in to my account using the mozilla addon.
Whenever I attempt to log in to my account on the mozilla add on, it doesnt respond or login. Could this be a bug?

This sounds like you have another Firefox add-on installed that is not compatible with this one. Could you let me know which ones you have installed, then I will check it and if necessary fix it as soon as I can. Also, please let me know the browser version, the browser language and the operating system you are on.

In-page searching
Find search terms in current page.
Instead of opening the find toolbar (Ctrl-F) and entering the word to search for (which are already in the search bar), just use the search term which is already there.Possible ways to use the serch terms:
1.make the terms clickable (like SearchWP)
2.copy the search term to the find toolbard - less elegant, but good.
3. Make the lookpicks search bar interact with other plugin the same way the searchbox works.3 votesstarted ·Adminunsyn

I have to admit that SearchWP is nice. It would be hard to make it interact with lookpick though, f.i. because lookpick uses the search box not only for search terms, but also to display search engine names along with search terms. I would probably have to add that functionality myself. What do you think about this instead: Hit something like ctrl+return to search inside the page using the phrase in the search box? (or hand the phrase over to the in-page search at the bottom) I have no idea how hard that would be, it is not top priority but I’ll check and if it’s not too hard I’ll add it. I’ll get back on this as soon as I get around to looking at it.
EDIT
Alright, the newest version of lookpick ( http://lookpicking.com/firefox/lookpick.xpi ) now allows for rudimentary in-page searching. When you hit ctrl-return, the query gets… more -
easy way to access a help page on the search engine
Simple and fast way to link , and see a help page about each engine would be great

I take it you refer to an external page (i.e. one of the respective search engine’s) that gets linked from the lookpicking.com web site, lets say from the ‘details’ panel. I think that’s a nice idea, thanks! One concern would be the possibility of link spamming, so there may be a need for a reporting mechanism or something similar. Another option could be to restrict the link to the same domain as the search result page. I’ll think about it and let you know here when I get around to implementing it.

Sync search term with values in current page
When the current search term changes in the web
page, change it also in the lookpicks search box.Just like SearchBox Sync add-on.

Ok, this requires more than a quick fix on my part. I will address it with the next release if feasible (from what I have seen so far, I think it is). Until then, I have patched the SearchBoxSync add-on so that it works with the newest version of lookpick (http://lookpicking.com/firefox/lookpick.xpi ). Download the patched SearchboxSync here: http://lookpicking.com/stuff/searchbox_sync-1.3b1_patched_for_lookpicking-fx.xpi (save it to your computer and then drag it onto a Firefox window). It will work with lookpick installed and without lookpick. However, it will not work when lookpick is installed and switched to ‘standard search’ mode.

no succes adding new search engine mozilla or ie8
can't add new search engine missing from public list such as blogs.com or blogpulse.com. watched video 5 times. tried mozilla 3.08 and ie8. any suggestions?

Are you using the web-based form scraper or the Firefox add-on? Adding blogpulse.com works either way on my side, using Firefox. As for blog.com, I can’t find a search field on their page. To be sure, adding search engines works only when you are logged in to an account at lookpicking.com. I am using an English of version Firefox, so I can’t say for sure that everything works using other language versions.
Please let me know if this doesn’t solve the issue. In the meantime, I have added blogpulse.com and a google-powered search for blog.com to the public list. Once we figure out how it works for you, feel free to create them again, I will merge my search engines to yours, then.
edit
Whoops, you were looking for blogS.com, not blog.com, I mixed that up. Sure they have a search field. Just added it to the list as well.… more -

Compatibility with fire.fm
When the fire.fm add-on is installed, the lookpick add-on does not work due to a javascript error (reported in mozilla's JSON framework for some reason). I will look into it as soon as I can, but it could take one or two weeks as I am way too busy right now. If you want it fixed faster, please vote.

Keyboard shortcuts?
I can't seem to find where documentation about the keyboard shortcuts are. Had to figure out on my own that Esc gets you back to the main box.
Having it in writing somewhere would be nice :D

The search bar works well alongside NoScript, as far as I can tell. Do you have any other add-ons installed? One that is known to cause problems for lookpick is the fire.fm add-on, as well as some custom themes. If you can let me know which add-ons/themes you have installed, and which version of Firefox on which OS you are using, I will probably be able to help you out.

Missing a language?
If you want to add search engines with a result language that is not yet available, please tell me about it in a comment, so I can add your language as an option.
