SearchenginePreview
Displays of a preview of the webpage found in search results with several search engines.
If you use search engines and have got some results, you may be curious what the web page looks like.
SearchenginePreview will enhance Opera to display a screenshot of the web page near the search results. Search results may display a big preview for found books on amazon.
It will look like this:
The second display (display the preview after hovering icon) can be achived if you change the source code of the script from
var ENABLE_IMAGE_INSERT = 1;
to
var ENABLE_IMAGE_INSERT = 0;
Sorry for this little inconvineance.
Working on:
- Yahoo
- MSN
- Zotspot
- Goodsearch
- Bing
- web.de
- metager.de
- ask.com
- ixquick.com
- clusty.com
More engines planned.
Known issues:
- On some search engines no preview is shown but a stop sign.
This is a problem with the preview service and is caused by sending the referrer.
Please disable referrer in Operas sitespecific settings. - Some web pages cannot be displayed as a preview because the search engine results uses redirected links
I apologize for these problems.
Hints and suggestions for enhancements and bugs are welcome.

Support
Beta (550) version (bugfixed, enhanced) can be found in my Repo.

You can you ask me too on english SearchenginePreview @ my.opera, but not often visited by me.
Installation Instructions:
To install UserJS files you must first create a folder for them on your PC. Where you create this folder and what you call it is entirely up to you. Next, go to file->preferences->advanced->content->Javascript Options and select the User Javascript folder you just created. Then, download the .js file from this site and put it in the folder.
If you are using Opera 10.10 or later you can use the UJS manager Unite application to install and manage your scripts. If you have it installed, simply open the script in Opera and an installation button will appear.
Scripts take effect on a page after reloading it.
Tested with Opera version(s):
10.50
10.60

PRe-fetch
So does this act like a prefetch?
no PRe-fetch
No. It does not fetch any content from the linkes website like prefetching does.
The script extracts a link, sends a link to a screenshot generating website and displays the screenshot as a small picture.
Not bad
Could be good for avoiding suspicious sites
Thankx
Fantastic work, and incredibly simple to install and use!
Congrats ;)
Wonderful!
Thanx for this great script... ;)
Good, but...
It is not working on my Windows Vista. It does work with Ubuntu Lucid, but on Vista it doesn't display anything at all. Any help?
It works vor me on 10.60
It works vor me on 10.60 under Windows 7
with a fresh profile.
What do you mean by "Not working"?
Do you have disabled Javascript and/or enabled Referrer on the searchengine sites?
This ma be the pproblem.
