Well I just kinda made it up(or discovered for myself) while I was fiddling around with my browser and it seemed effective so I never bothered trying anything different

Ok, released version 1.1 which fixes the scrolling bug, although it's still a little but buggy, it works now. We're working in a way to enhance it

Just tried out :) scrolling helps a lot! one "bug" is that each time you scroll you need to redraw the firescreen, not just printing the stuff info (you keep scrolling down and text gets stuck to your screen)

Also 1 suggestion
You need SOME type of formatting, the sheer amount of synonyms creates a wall of text that is hard to read
- You could replace the | that wolfram uses and have it be /n (i think that is the thing for next line) it will look nicer ^_^

EDIT: how do you search again???

I agree, I was attempting to fix this for him at one stage by pulling the data from Wolframalpha different'y to include headings for each section... it was quite difficult!

Well it wouldn't be that hard to convert all | to \n (Actually every other |) he already has a scanning program to scan for the data from wolfram just have it scan for more then one thing

That's the easy part, fixing the scrolling is the painfull part

Don't even need to scan through it all to replace | with \n ... have a look at my Extended String Library, specifically the replace function...

That would be a PAIN Interpreting from the html to Lua... its more problem than its worth I think... I attempted it a little for this, when I was trying to write him a better info extraction method, but it was just horrible to do...

o_o well, in that case, I wonder if the Luakit web browser's api's would work in computercraft.. since that uses X11/x11 I doubt it'd work, might be with a shot though.

Yea, TheOriginalBIT is right, the code I get comes in XML, and luckily I was able to retrieve just the answer with some simple methods, but HTML is another story, that would be impossible to implement. Maybe not impossible, but really, really, really hard to do

Even XML was difficult... I was attempting to strip out all the tags and just have the title and plaintext from the pods for you.... very difficult to get accurate, couldn't do it...

That's why I just stripped the plaintext, because when I first looked at the XML code I was like: How the f*** am I going to show all of this?

Well I was trying to use some of the functions I wrote in my Extended String Library. But I just couldn't find the right combo to work 100%... the process did have me add some new functions to the Library, so thanx :) , but I'm considering trying to figure it out at some point and add a stripTag function into the library. however this will be later...

Ok, BETA 1.2 is out, with a (hopefully) working fix for the scrolling bug and for the bug that doesn't let you change screen back.
If any kind souls could try it out and tell me if it works, I'll move it to the approved code, version 1.2. And no, I won't take your souls...........

Probably.....

Edit: Forgot to say thanks RemiX for the fix
