It looks like the author (Dr. Jesper Zedlitz) of that genealogy net metasearch has intentionally hidden the parameter passing. That search does some background polling of sites that is bot-like behavior.
He shares some of his work for their site in one of his GitHub repositories: GitHub - jze/GenWiki: small tools to generate content for the MediaWiki instance at https://wiki-de.genealogy.net/
I think the search can only be limited to the Meta search homepage. There are so many databases behind it that it canât be searched individually.
Itâs searching by last name and location. I canât send a search link because I always get an empty search form.
Enter âWalterâ as the last name in the top line and âErbachâ as the location in the bottom line.
Now is available a new one feature:
User can turn on displaying of links from attributes.
No need configure JSON, script looking for âhttpsâ and renders it as is.
Looks like we can not do this, this is POST request.
Everything what you can do is add this link https://meta.genealogy.net/ without search parameters into static-links.csv.
The link will be always available for you for fast access, but you need fulfill the inputs manually.
OK, thanks.
If I add it manually, will it always be gone after an update?
ah, yes, it is more large, also Ontario, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories (Canada area)âŠ
No emoji for Quebec!
3 additional navigation types are supported. The full list:
class SupportedNavTypes(Enum):
PEOPLE = "People"
PLACES = "Places"
SOURCES = "Sources"
FAMILIES = "Families"
EVENTS = "Events"
CITATIONS = "Citations"
MEDIA = "Media"
The last 3 dont have variables yet, but they support attributes links. These links are shown in WebSearch if they are found in attributes. An example for Media page:
I think yes, It will be gone after update. But you can use UserData directory where your updates in csv are safe. You can read more in README in section " 6.2. User-defined CSV files" GitHub - jurchello/WebSearch at v0.42.23
no, we will no add separate icons for provinces. But I can move it into separate Kanadian csv file.
Release v0.43.23 is only finding parameters for a few csv entries. (The static_links.csv definitions were working. The common-links.csv were not working.) All the rest are showing 0/0
And for some reason the hotspot for showing the âsemi-transparent toastâ. (It that the same as a âTooltipâ?) For the FindAGrave example below, the pointer had to be on the row above. When the actual FindAGrave row was indicated, it showed the MyHeritage toast.
Configure selections:
For the bottom set of âConfigureâ checkboxes, please simplify by using the same consolidated header format as the âEnable CSV Filesâ section in a âShowâ section :
BTW, Maybe another label for the columns Vars (Variables) would harmonize with other features.
Keys would be a good label?Params (Parameters)It reproduced for common-csv links. Fixed in v0.43.24
Found the reason and Fixed in v0.43.25.
I can add it to minor tasks for future. Varibles - such naming I use across all the project including README. So, Variables should be renamed everywhere to maintain naming consistency.
I will do this later when all configuration checkboxed are added.
@emyoulation thanks for the suggestions!
On the contrary, thank YOU for being open to suggestions. It must be difficult to accept them as constructive (which is my intention) rather than criticisms. Your being so receptive makes us volunteer more effort in supporting your work. Thanks again.
Iâve created two pull requests. WebSearch gramplet will be available in 5.2 and 6.0 versions after approve
