Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: deskbar-applet
Using Ubuntu Dapper.
The deskbar-applet's instructions on activating Google live search are incorrect. The instructions below were obtained by doing the following: Right-click on Deskbar's magifying glass, choose Preferences, scroll down and highlight "Google Search", Click "More".
-----------------------------------------------------
Setting Up Google Live
You need a Google account to use Google Live. To get one, go to
http://api.google.com/
When you have created your account, you should recieve a Google API key
by mail. Place this key in the file
~/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/Google.key
If you do not receive an API key (or you have lost it) in your account
verification mail, then go to www.google.com/accounts and log in. Go to
api.google.com, click "Create Account" and enter your e-mail address and
password. Your API key will be re-sent.
Now download the developers kit and extract the GoogleSearch.wsdl file
from it. Copy this file to
~/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/GoogleSearch.wsdl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggested changes to instructions based on how I found what I needed to
get the Google live search working:
You need a Google account to use Google Live. To get one, go to http://www.google.com/accounts.
When you have created your account, go to
http://code.google.com/apis/base/signup.html to sign up for the Google
API key. For the question, "For what kind of applications do you need a
key?", Choose "Installed Applications".
After clicking "Sign me up" you should be redirected to a page
displaying your Google API key. Place this key in the file:
~/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/Google.key
Now download the GoogleSearch.wsdl file with wget:
wget http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl Or point your browser to http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl then right-click on the page and choose "Save Page As..."
Save this file to:
~/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/GoogleSearch.wsdl
