The design was based off a screenshot I took. I took code from Google's Image search page.

My computer drawing skills aren't exactly perfect, and I coded a few things differently on purpose. However, this is fully functioning! It's much like Firefox's start page. If people like this enough, someone please find a place to put this where it can be used on a more daily basis. And feel free to take the source and images and whatever. I give anyone full writes to copy, modify, and spread whatever they want of this.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I know it's slightly different from the show in a few ways.

Here's a list of what needs to be fixed:
*Using IE, when you hit enter it will do a image search instead of a web search. Using Firefox, it performs how it was planned to. This probably has something to do with the button order.
*Is there a way to make the button sizes consistent on Firefox and IE, or should I just not bother with making it look nice in IE?
*The input box where the search criteria goes into is an odd color. How do I change that thing's border color? In HTML or CSS.
*On the show Kiwi's tongue is hanging down to the right of the box. This would be fixed by making a separate image of the tongue. However, I don't know enough about cell padding to figure this out, so I didn't bother with it.
*If anyone would like to recolor/redo the image better, go for it. There's two frames to the GIF.


I can't promise to put your name on the page (that would ruin the accuracy), but you will be credited in the source code.

If anybody has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

I originally was wanting to make this an official Google start page (with the URL of "www.google.com/kiwi") but after messing with a few other free web hosts, trying to set up DNS and CNAME stuff, I gave up on that.

I originally posted this on Teklinks recently, but I feel the need to share this with all fellow Code Lyoko lovers.

I love it! This is well done and really cool.
That was funny to see Jérémie with his Kiwi search engine

Here's a version which fixes the issues:



I omitted the Urchin part at the end (you can put it back if you want) and rewrote the HTML code to make it valid and cleaner.

Thank you very much, Olivier.
I'll be sure to credit you.

The Urchin thing actually wasn't my doing, freewebs like to add scripts like that to your pages. :/

There's a bit of talk over at Tech Links, this thing might get a better URL! (They asked if I'd like if they hosted it.) If it does I'll replace the current URL with a link to it.

Okay, it's now hosted at codexana.net/kiwi.html by the awesome Tech Links.
