Description Andrew Cowie 2006-12-12 23:48:34 UTC 
It seems the Google Live Search API is no longer supported. See: http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch/ and http://code.google.com/apis/soapsearch/api_faq.html#gen8

They have immediately stopped giving out SOAP keys anymore, and therefore I wasn't able to set up the Google search support in deskbar-applet.

On a whim I tried generating an AJAX key, and that didn't work. It's bound to the website URL you're "using" the AJAX search API from, and quite the stack trace gets returned over the SOAP connections. {sigh}

Not sure what to suggest. Seemed like a neat feature, even with all the setup necessary.

Somebody said they had a REST api they encouraged people to use instead. I haven't checked up on it yet though.

Anyways I think we should deprecate the google-live handler.
Comment 2 Raphael Slinckx 2006-12-29 21:05:43 UTC 
I think so too. Mikkel can you remove it from the HEAD?
Comment 3 Andrew Cowie 2006-12-29 23:00:45 UTC 
Oh, that's too bad. I was sorta hoping that someone would port the google-live handler to the new API.

Well, at least we won't be leading people down the garden path.

Comment 4 Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 2006-12-30 23:18:22 UTC 
I'll have a look at the alternative google api. If it still requires an API key I'll drop this handler, if it doesn't I'll probably update the handler instead (given there is an easy to use api).
Comment 5 Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen 2006-12-30 23:35:57 UTC 
Blah. After searching about api.google.com I've come to conclude that there is no REST api. All they have now is an AJAX api, and I can say as much as I'm not gonna be the one to use that.

Heck, even live.com (eeek!) have a REST api, maybe we should include a live-live.py handler :-) - to send a small message... and because of the obscure filename of course...
