PocoSearch 3 --- Click the link for a demonstration. Right-click & select "Add to favorites" to install the bookmarklet. Right-click & select "Copy link address" or "Copy Shortcut" to get an accurate copy.
Synopsis: Searches the PocoMail help forum and the three web sites (pocomail.com, pocosystems.com and jdfsoftware.com). Opens two new browser windows or tabs.
Notes: Google and the forum both recognize the operators AND and OR. Google defaults to AND, the forum to OR. They have no other operators in common; therefore, perform complex queries with successive searches. Google's + operator isn't available.
The forum evidently ignores symbols it doesn't recognize; to the forum, "spell check" is the same as spell check; ~spell AND ~check is the same as spell AND check.
Help: searching a phpBB forum

Disclaimers: Tested with Opera 7.11, Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP. No warranty. Requires a browser with JavaScript enabled. With some browser configurations, the program may not open separate windows. Primitive pop-up blockers may interfere. Some browsers may require that a page (any page) be open when a bookmarklet is run. Goofy variable names ("sTeRm8") are to avoid collisions with variables in whatever Web page may be open. Thanks to bookmarklets.com, Phil Burns and others for publishing example code.
