Hi all, I'm messing with tweak UI again and need some help.

I'm trying to set up the search feature under the internet explorer tab. I cannot find much help on this on the web.

The part I'm getting stuck with is how to enter the address. All of those plus signs or percent signs.

Say I want my prefix to be GMaps, so I can perform a search via google maps. What would my address be?


Thank you

I have used tweak UI before - it is a nice app. I would recommend that you due a query on google maps and copy the url into your clipboard. then examine this url - it is how google does queries. there is probably a % or $ sign you'd substitute instead of the actual address in the website you copied to your clipboard.
say you set a destination and a source address of 1111 cherry lane and 2222 copper rd. when you hit the button to get the address, google maps might use a format like:
googlemaps.com/search?dest=1111+cherry+lane&source=2222+copper+rd&lang=en-us

I'm just saying this as a sample - it is not probably how the website of google maps is arranged. go to google maps, type in a address and see the format it gives you.

hope that helps-
