New features added
Today we're releasing some new features:
- Larger previews column: the previews column has been expanded a bit (from 250 to 330 pixels). This is used to show more information, like the domain where the result is, or more images; the old width is still used if the browser width is small (less than 1000 pixels). It's possible to configure this feature from the settings panel.
- Flickr search improvements: the maximum number of preview rows has increased to 4, and also clicking on the images will open the "gallery mode", like the regular images search.
- "Other tabs" widget for sidebar: it was included a few days ago; it's quite simple, just shows search links to the the other tabs, so it's not necessary to scroll to the top to perform the search in another tab; also, it gives the possibility to hide the tab bar in the settings panel and still use the tabs feature.
- "Top" button in sidebar: just a button in the sidebar to go to the top without having to scroll all the way up; it's only visible when the page has been scrolled.
- Configurable separator character: the bullet character ("•") was used to separate different information placed in the same line; that character is now configurable from the settings panel, and the default character is now "›". For instance, it's possible to use a blank space, dash ("-") or middle dot ("·").
We plan to release support for the Bing Images search in a few days.
