Requirements:

Searchlite 0.1.1 Site Extension is compatible with NN6+, MSIE 5+ as well as all builds of Firefox, Mozilla, Camino and Apple's Safari.

Basic Installation:

The Searchlite 0.1.1 Site Extension can be added to your site pages in one of three ways:

1. Stand-alone JS File: Searchlite can be accessed from a stand-alone source file by: (A) placing this file: searchlite.js in a directory within the target site structure; and (B) adding the following code to the head of all pages you want to have Searchlite enabled:

   <script src=path/searchlite.js> </script>

   Note that path should of course be replaced with the actual relative path to the file

2. Addition to Exisiting global.js file: Searchlite functionality can be added, without risk of conflict to an existing global javascript file by pasting the contents of this file: searchlite.js into the existing global source document.

3. Inline Page Script: Searchlite can be added to pages ad hoc by pasting the contents of the source file into the head of individual files between a set of html <script></script> tags

Advanced Configuration:

The Searchlite 0.1.1 Site Extension includes several useful custom configuration options including: adding and deleting search engines; as well as integrating Searchlite with a custom Google searchbox.

1. Adding/Deleting Search Engines

2. Integrating w/ Google Searchbox

Bugs-A-Poppin

2. Page Latency: Because Searchlite v 0.1.1 must wait for the page to fully load, user scripts may exhibit latency when confronted with pages that include verbose HTML markup and/or broken pathnames to embeded objects (images, stylesheets, scripts ...)
