Gmail and Persistent Searches #
Users of my Gmail persistent searches user script will have noticed that it stopped working today. This is because Google changed Gmail's domain from gmail.google.com
to mail.google.com
, which is not on the script's list of included pages. You can either modify the list by hand (select "Manage User Scripts..." from the Tools menu) or re-install the script by right-clicking on the previous link and selecting "Install User Script...".
Since Gmail's domain changed, and the searches were stored in a cookie (unless you use the modified version that uses contacts), your existing searches are not preserved. To prevent this problem from reoccurring, I've switched to using GM_getValue
and GM_setValue
, two Greasemonkey functions that were not available at the time I wrote the script (version 0.3 or later required). To recover your existing searches, look for a cookie with the name PersistentSearches
set on the gmail.google.com
domain and extract its value.
Update on 7/5/2005: I had forgotten that my Gmail skinning hack is also keyed on Gmail's domain. I have updated that as well.

Just discovered this nice script; thanks !
The colour you choose for the "Searches" box on the left though, isn´t the optimum, imho.
This colour is already reserved for alerting purposes; ie. for sent mail.
In other words: it distracts a bit to much.
Maybe you could change it to green or blue when doing other maintenance to this scriot (if any, that is)
Cheers,
Peter
