Here is a google search site bookmarklet. This lets you search a
certain website using google. What I want is the same thing, but to
search a certain geocities site. When you use the current
bookmarklet, the search takes you to site:www.geocities.com instead of
the specific site you want to search. Can someone modify this for me,
to search specific geocities sites?

Thanks for your help and btw I'm using Mozilla Suite and Firefox.

The bookmarklet is:

javascriptfunction(){var
h,q;h=location.hostname;q=(window.getSelection ? window.getSelection()
: document.getSelection ? document.getSelection() :
document.selection.createRange().text);q=prompt('S earch \''+h+'\'
using Google:',q);if(q!=null){if(h){q='site:'+h+'
'+q;}location='http://www.google.com/search?q='+encodeURIComponent(q);}})();

I gather you want to add the pathname up to the first '/' slash after the
hostname. In code (mind the wrap):

h==location.hostname + location.pathname.substring( 0,
location.pathname.substring(1).indexOf( '/' )+1 )

That would give you strings like 'www.geocities.com/swaisman' or
'www.geocities.co.jp/goofy_trip'.

Thanks ivo, but I'm not javascripted minded. Where do I add those lines?

Find in your code the bit that sais:
h=location.hostname
and add immediately after that:
+ location.pathname.substring( 0,
location.pathname.substring(1).indexOf( '/' )+1 )

So you get:
javascriptfunction(){var h,q;h=location.hostname +
location.pathname.substring( 0, location.pathname.substring(1).indexOf(
'/' )+1 );q=(window.getSelection ? window.getSelection() :
document.getSelection ? document.getSelection() :
document.selection.createRange().text);q=prompt('S earch \''+h+'\' using
Google:',q);if(q!=null){if(h){q='site:'+h+'
'+q;}location='http://www.google.com/search?q='+encodeURIComponent(q);}})();

Untested, but should work. I 'm not geocities minded.
