Downloading Searchy

Searchy can be downloaded from this page, which will always contain the latest version.

Latest version

The latest version of Searchy is version 1.80, which was released on 1 January, 2009. Please check the release notes below before downloading Searchy via the link at the bottom of this page.

System requirements

To use Searchy, you will need at least the following:

  • RISC OS 3.50 or later
  • 640k free memory
  • 200k free disc space
  • An Internet connection
  • A supported web browser (see below)

Supported web browsers

Searchy is known to work with the following web browsers:

  • NetSurf
  • Oregano and Oregano2
  • Fresco
  • Browse and Phoenix
  • WebsterXL

Searchy has not been tested with Peter Naulls' port of Firefox to RISC OS, and there are currently no plans to do so. Having said this, I have recieved various reports that Searchy will indeed work with !Firefox2 on an Iyonix or A9Home system. As I don't own either of these systems, I can't offer support for using Searchy with !Firefox2.

Release notes - Version 1.80

Welcome and thank you for downloading Searchy version 1.80.

This update contains various fixes and improvements over the previous versions. The main differences are as follows:

Choices windows have been rearranged to cope with the default font settings in RISC OS Select 5i1 (RISC OS 6.14), and to cope better if you use the rounded button icon options in RISC OS Select.

The !Help file has been rewritten to fit more with changes to the application since version 1.00, for which the !Help file was written.

Searchy and its system variables are now officially allocated with RISC OS Open Ltd. (Something which should have been done before version 1.00 was written... Oops!) Also, the sprites used on the search windows are no longer stored in the WIMP sprite pool, which was a naughty thing that I've been meaning to fix for a long time!

As usual, support is available using the email address at the bottom of this note, or via MSN Messenger using the address msn@andrewpoole.org.uk using !Parmesan or your favourite MSN client.
