<form action=http://gogle.com/ie><input name=q>
Zeigt allerdings nur die Titel... |
for italian search you can save a character: <form action=http :// gogle.it/ie><input name=q> |
Well, somebody could forward (dns-forwarding or sth like that) a 3-character-domain to google.com – that would be shorter than gogle.it :) |
Hehe, look what I found: <form action=http://cb3.de/ie><input name=q> Nice litte domain is now forwarded to google.com :) |
<form action=http:gogle.it><input name=q> parses in Firefox without http slashes, but not in IE.
Also, if we're cheating, a9.com is returns Google results, so: <form action=http:a9.com><input name=q> will do the trick. |
Mlahumlaha, it must be Google, and must work in IExplorer too – nice try though :) |
Removing the "http:" should work for most (all?) browsers:
<form action=//cb3.de/ie><input name=q> |
Scott, doesn't work for me here on IExplorer... |
Aah. Yes, it will only work if the originating page has a protocol of http:. If you are viewing the page using the file: protocol, then the browser will try to load file:/<!-- -->/cb3.de/ie. |
OK, I understand, but that is good enough! I will include your sample in the original post – you are officially the shortest entry now :) |
Wow!
Now we need a reason to use this ;) |
OK – if we're talking about redirecting domains and the like, how about this:
You enter a line containing "216.239.59.99 g" into your HOSTS file (found at "C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32DRIVERSETCHOSTS" if you're on WIndows) where "216.239.59.99" is one of Google's IP addresses – you could always "ping" www.google.com to get another IP.
You can then use this HTML (served from a web server on HTTP protocol, as before):
<form action=//g/ie><input name=q>
34 characters. Does that count? |
I don't think it counts, because URI's are always meant to be the same for everyone. Since not everybody (users, user agents) is aware of the rule that authority 'g' points to IPv4 address 216.239.59.99, not everybody will get the same results when attempting to follow that URI. |
not shorter but different
<input onchange=location='//gogle.it/ie?q='+value>
eg. http://www.davidsanger.com/g.htm
onblur works but a bit differently
