fix for new Google image search Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Using the new (couple months old?) Google image search in OW beachballs my entire computer while initially loading, and is then very slow while scrolling. I know I can wait for the first page to load, and then slowly scroll down to the bottom and disable, but that change doesn't persist. There doesn't seem to be any Google-side preference to keep the old view.

In Safari 5 the new image search is quick, and I actually like it better than the old version.

Does anyone (a) have the same problem (b) have a search shortcut that forces Google Images to use the old settings or (c) know which OW site prefs keep this from being an issue?
 
Are you running the OmniWeb Sneaky Peek from this page?

http://www.omnigroup.com/products/om...oad/sneakypeek

Or the latest final version of OmniWeb?

Yep, Sneaky Peek.
 
Found a fix which has stuck, so far:

1) Click on the following URL: It should do a Google Image search for "snow" using the old search style.

http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl...=&oq=&gs_rfai=

2) Right-click in the search box, and "Add Search Shortcut."

Glad I'm not the only one. I suppose.

I've noticed it (new Google images) runs fine in OW on PPC (10.4). Well, it is a G3 B.O. iBook so fine is a relative term, but in this case it smokes the pants off an i7 iMac. I believe Han Solo said it best: That's not fair.

Same build on both machines.

Also the important bit to add to a search shortcut is sout=1 .

ie. http://www.google.com/images?q=%@&sout=1 (don't forget the ampersand when adding it to the tail of the URL)

If you add sout=1 to a plain (web) Google search shortcut it will be carried over into the links for "images" as well as "videos", etc.

Same here, I reported the problem and OW told they didn't have the problem and couldn't reproduce it ............
