Of monkeys and bumps

Greasemonkey came up with an awesome update to the script Google Bump in September. It allows users to add some fresh functions to the Google web search. Google Bump is a userscript run via Greasemonkey and should not be confused with GoogleBump.com. Once installed in your browser, loads of functions will be available for you to tweak and use alongside Google (complete list of features can be viewed here). There are a few notable features available that I would like to share with you folks.

MultiSearch


Allows you to search 3 search engines (Google included) simultaneously. Two drop-down list will be available for you to choose your prefered search engine. Search engines ranging from Flickr, Wikipedia, Youtube, Ebay and much more are available (note: Yahoo and Bing are not available). Each search will be opened in a new tab. This will be handy for anyone trying to search for trends and ideas across various platforms.

Image and Video Search Result Extraction


This tool lets you search images and videos and displays the relevant result on the Google Sidebar.This will make use of the mostly empty Google Sidebar.

If use with the Google Bump integrated video player, videos can be played on the Google Sidebar itself. Currently only Google Video, Youtube and Metacafe are compatible.

To use this nifty script, all you have to do is to install the script on your browser. The script is available for download here and instruction on how to install it is available here. I hope some of you will find this script useful. Feel free to share your experience using Google Bump script.
