Legacy JavaScript

Hello! This script has been detected as using deprecated parameters that need to be replaced with the updated version. Examples include addOnloadHook( ... ) needs to be replaced with $( ... ) or $( function() { ... } ) (depending on use); all wgGlobalVariables need to be properly gotten with mw.config.get( 'wgGlobalVariable' ); and addPortletLink needs to be called with mw.util.addPortletLink. Please see MW:ResourceLoader/Legacy JavaScript for details. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 22:32, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

search

I find it weird that it searched title page + Wikipedia.org.
Just change

searchNode.href = "http://www.google.com/search?q=" + encodeURIComponent(subjectName.replace(/_/g, " ")) + "+-wikipedia.org";

to

searchNode.href = "http://www.google.com/search?q=" + encodeURIComponent(subjectName.replace(/_/g, " "));

for it just to search the title page.NikolaiHo 01:44, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

suggestion: add space(s) before "Google Search"

Hi Writ Keeper! I just "installed" your script for the first time. Definitely neat and I can imagine it saving time in the future.

I just had one suggestion: can you add some whitespace before "Google Search"? Currently, it gets scrunched up right next to the title. If you prefer to leave it as-is, do you mind if I fork the script? Thanks, = paul2520 (talk) 02:57, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response! Looks great. = paul2520 (talk) 12:50, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apostrophe

Hi Writ Keeper. Thank you for the many useful scripts you have made for the community! If an article title contains an apostrophe ' as in e.g. Babette's Feast, the string will be stripped for anything after the apostrophe and the search will be for Babette only. Could you fix that, please? Sam Sailor 10:05, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam Sailor: Nice catch, thanks! Should be fixed now. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 14:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And it works! Thank you so much for the quick fix. Sam Sailor 19:03, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
