Google Search? - Version: 3.2 (v61), 6/8/2009 07:24PM PST

So there's the option to use Google is back, but as far as I can tell it doesn't load any results based off your search within the Inquisitor window. Instead, it only predicts various autocompletions of what you've typed, and then you have to load the Google page.

I get that it's owned by Yahoo! now, but I guess I just liked the old functionality with Google results. It appears everything works normally when Yahoo! is the search engine.

Google search is back! (But Installer seems broken) - Version: 3.2 (v61), 4/9/2009 12:18AM PST

The previous version did not produce results when Google was the chosen search engine but v61 brings it back. Hurray! When installing v61 over v58 the installer gave me an error message:

Install failed: The following install step failed: run postflight script for Inquisitor. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

I took out the Inquisitor folder from the Input Managers folder and tried again but had the same results. However Inquisitor seems to run fine in spite of the error.

YEA!! OMG, I was going nuts without Inquisitor's search abilities. Once you get used to it, you really have a hard time without it (like when using Safari 4). Thank god it's back - makes searching much easier & more accurate.
