make

./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/kde3/
make
make install
ln -s /usr/lib/kde3/lib/libklipoquery.so /usr/lib/kde3/libklipoquery.so

Installation with Gentoo Ebuild:

1. If you want to have the ebuild present after an emerge sync command, add a portage layer in /etc/make.conf (e.g. PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage)
2. Place the ebuild in your default /usr/portage/app-misc/ or your custom portage dir
3. (Optional but Fail-Safe) Copy the Source Package [KlipOQuery v0.2.4] to the /usr/portage/distfiles directory
4. Proceed with the common emerge -[p]v klipoquery command

Add to dock

Relogin into your KDE-Session, then RMB on the dock -> add -> panelapplets -> klipoquery
Please make sure that the klipper applet is also running. Otherwise klipoquery is not able to work!

Add a service

In the preference dialog, you will see a filetree like visualisation of the available services. By clicking the right mouse button (rmb) on a group item you can add a service. In the textbox you can change the items Name, Description, URL and the activation. So lets start how to modify a web url:

• First you should identify a service which could be helpfull for you purposes
• Lets start with an example like the onlinedirectory dmoz.org. Go to www.dmoz.org with your browser and type in a search query like "My Searchterm".
• After gaining the results from this search, have a look in the address-field of your browser:
  You may see something like http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=My%20Searchterm. Now, copy this URL to the preferences Dialog and replace the red marked word(s) with %s, so that we can read http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=%s. Thats all.

Groups

Groups are just for a better visualisation, nothing more nothing less.

Activation

This is actually for very huge lists, so that you can deselect services you won't need without deleting them

Top[1-10] List

Shows your [1-10] frequent accessed services.

Anything forgotten?

Contact

If you got suggestions, bug reports (yes it is possible), or additional services, please send me a mail.
