[Ieview] IEview conflict with SmartSearch Extension

[Roger @ Gmail]

Hi,

Newbie here. Sorry!

I have used IEview 1.3.3 and SmartSearch 3.6 extensions for a long time - the last updates being in April and March this year.


"SmartSearch" allows you to highlight some text (normally by double-clicking on a word or dragging the mouse over several words) and then click on a "Keyword Bookmark" [ http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches ]  (which is usually a search engine). This causes a new tab to be opened with the search results for the selected text.


I recently uninstalled IEview and this functionality stopped. Instead of the search engine opening with the results for the selected text being displayed, I got the results for "$s" being displayed -- "$s" (without the quotes) is supposed to be substituted by the selected text, but this stopped working.


It took me a while to determine that it was IEview causing the problem. After I re-installed IEview, the "Keyword Bookmarks" started working again. I even disabled IEview - rather than uninstalling it - and the "Keyword Bookmarks" stopped working. All was OK again after I re-enabled IEview.


So the question is, does anyone know why this functionality is tied to IEview? 

Any help gratefully received.

And sorry if this has been brought up before - I have looked through only the last few months of the archived posts on this mailing list.

Regards,

Roger.
