I have updated queryinc.php, which this makes use of. While I will still continue working on it, I have released a stable version with these features:

  • To avoid any confusion, only one set of search results will be displayed, and these will be regular search results.
  • If you're interested in seeing just Primary Links, there is a separate option for that.
  • You will get up to 500 results from a search.
  • Results with more than 500 items will be followed by a link for the next 500.
  • Instead of having searches broken down into subcategories with the number of hits listed for each subcategory, you will get buttons for narrowing down or redirecting a search.
  • Lettered links for navigating to sections of the page, which could be confused with lettered links for doing new searches, are now gone.
  • Links to the bottom and top of the page are displayed only on mobile devices, as they are not needed on computers with keyboards, which allow moving to the top or bottom with keyboard shortcuts.
  • The SQL will be shown when $usethisheading is not set, or it is set to the generic "Search Results".
  • The Advanced Search is now clearly labeled and contains checkboxes for the categories.
  • Multiple category values can be passed in two ways: as a comma-separated list or as a series of category[]= assignments.
  • The new parameter minimumnew is used to indicate the minimum number of items to display on a What's New page. This will keep it from showing nothing when there has been nothing new for a while.
