Today (well yesterday actually) I added a function so that our users themselves can decide what search-engines they do want to use when searching with Agent55 by simply clicking a checkbox. If you want to try this feature out the go to the Engines page and select what engines you want to use.
This combined with the one click Javascript search button will make a great team! :)
Happy searching!

Does Firefox crash for you?
About ten days ago I discovered a really evil and nasty bug that totally crashed the Mozilla Firefox webbrowser and after some hard work I managed to remove the crashing symptom of my site.
On popular demand I have restored an old backup where the Firefox-crashing bug still is present and set up a little test site for you all to test if your Firefox (combined with your Windows-version) crashes. It seems that the only variable is not what Firefox version you are running, but also there seems to depend on something else, it may be a windows driver or something like that. Maybe it depends on what Add-ons are installed in Firefox.
If you are running Firefox go to http://ffcrash.agent55.com and test it, and please post a comment about the results here. Dont forget to mention what version of Firefox you have and what operating system version you are running.

New Layout
Almost from the very beginning of beta-testing Agent55 out beta-testers (close friends and colleagues of mine) pointed out to me that the design of Agent55 was not the best, to say it gently. I have now tried to change that and made a more "clean" layout of Agent55, trying to emphasize the "agent-feeling". What that now may be :)
So, today (only 4 days after launch) we will release the new layout of Agent55. Hope you like it as it is more clean and hopefully has a better layout than the last one...

Agent55 just launched
Hey hey, my first blog ever, so please bear with me.. :)
My name is Goran Johansson, I run a small company in Sweden called Awesume Interactive and the 17th of Janaury 2007 we released a site that we have been working on for about 2-3 months.
The site is called agent55 (agent55.com) and is a so called meta search engine, that means that it has no own search engine, but sends out requests to other search engines on the web and shows the results in two different views. Hard to explain, easier to try out. We have added about 15 different search-categories and more will be added with time. The categories at launch was: The Web, Images, Videos, Mp3/Audio, Shopping, Photos, Directories, Software, Subtitles and Bit-torrents. We also have a localized version of agent55 that is called Agent55 Sweden that searches only local swedish sites, such as best price, jobs, news, phone numbers etc.
I have put down quite a lot of work to make this site tick with all of the three big browsers, namely: Internet Explorer(6 & 7), Firefox(2+), Opera (9) and as any webdeveloper know DHTML together with the three musketeers (?) is a great hassle...
My thoughts with this blog is to inform you a little about the background of this site (and me) and also what is happening and what is gonna happen at the site, I can promise you that I have a lot of ideas for this site if it turns out well...
If you want you can visit the site, try it out a bit and give me your reactions.
Enough for now, More will come soon.
Best regards
