Shorter trigger keyword for Opensearch in omnibox - opensearch

Is it possible to make a shorter keyword for the users to access our opensearch?
Example:
Our website is: xxxxxxxxx.com
I want that when typing 'xxx' and pressing TAB the opensearch for our website will appear.
Right now the users have to type the whole address and then press TAB.

It is not possible to make keyword shorter, if you search is on xxxxxxxxx.com, keyword is xxxxxxxxx.com, you can't do with it anything.
Nevertheless you probably also don't have any problem.
Google Chrome behaviour is as follows:
User visits site with opensearch link. Google Chrome plug this search engine, and then when you start typing first x into location bar, xxx engine is offered with pressing TAB key.
You probably did something wrong, when you was testing it (and didn't post here infos about it).
Because when you add manually new search engine, you need first at least once visit site, engine belongs it. Otherwise you must type whole xxxxxx.com.

Detect hover in Microsoft Word Add-In

I'm trying to develop an Add-In for Microsoft Word. The basic idea being to load some key words into the document and then when the user hovers over one of the key words a box pops up to show more information, like on Wikipedia or Facebook.
Looking over the api reference I see that the popup box isn't possible, and that's okay I could just make it appear in the Add-In's panel.
I read about bindings, but it seems they can't detect a hover or even a click event? I thought about hacking something together with links but I don't think that would be very UI friendly.
The only thing I can think of to make it kind of possible is to have the user manually highlight the key word (sometimes the key word is more than one word), then have them click a "search" button in the Add-In's panel that would read the selected range and compare it against a database of words. It just seems very anti user compared to the original idea.
Does anyone know of a better way to achieve this?

Make Google Home Action work with "Hey Google, INTENT" instead of "Hey Google, ask ACTION to INTENT" possible?

Right now my Action for Google via Dialogflow only works if I say:
Hey Google, ask ACTION to INTENT
I want to remove the ask ACTION to part, so I can just say:
Hey Google, INTENT
My Action is basically a "Turn on device". I can say things like:
Hey Google, ask home to turn on TV
Hey Google, ask home to turn on fan
and so on. Is this possible? I know for Alexa they're called Home Automation Skills, but they're really tricky to setup, apparently.
There are two (sorta three) answers that address your question in different ways.
First - there is no way, programmatically, to remove the ask ACTION to part. This would be like asking if there was a way to remove the hostname from a URL.
However, you (as a user) can setup a shortcut so that when you say "Hey Google, turn on the TV" this actually gets interpreted as "Hey Google, ask some action name to turn on the TV". To do this
Go into your Google Home app.
Open the Menu -> More Settings -> Shortcuts
Second - as #shortQuestion suggested, you could rely on implicit invocations to do what you want. To pull this off, you need to setup the various phrases that will trigger an explicit invocation - and hope that Google notices these and suggests them as something the user can do. There is no way, however, to force Google to pick your Action for a particular phrase, Google's pick may change over time, and they may just suggest your action instead of immediately invoking it. This is sorta like trying to play the SEO game with Google's search engine.
But... what you're asking to do is something that is more along the lines of a Smart Home action. I wouldn't call it "tricky" to create a Smart Home action, but you cannot do it with Dialogflow, and it requires you to create and setup a server that manages (and ultimately controls) the devices in question.
I just found in the Invocation And Discovery Docs
You able to do that!
Invocation name, ex. Talk to Dr.A
Deep link invocation, ex. find recipes
Discovery (MOST IMPORTANT)
In some cases, some of an intent's query patterns can trigger your action, even if users don't use your invocation name.
This is not programmatically possible on the Google Assistant.
The only way to do this is by setting a shortcut in your Assistant. You could set "INTENT" as a shortcut for "ask ACTION to INTENT".
Go to the "Action discovery and updates" section of the actions on google console, and configure some implicit invocations for the public to discover the functionality within your assistant without explicitly invocating your bot by name.

K2: How may I open a file in a new window unless I already have such a window open?

I have a K2 Smartform that displays a list of file names. When the user clicks a file name, the program opens that file (all of them are PDFs) in a new tab in the browser (IE). This is good so far. If you click on a second file from the list, it opens in a third tab. That is not what the user wants.
They want the second file selection to open in the same window as the first file.
This is the process I can see:
Click on the file in the list.
Open in a tab.
Click on a second file in the list.
If there is already a tab open with a file from the list, open this file there. Otherwise, open a new tab for the file.
I suppose automatically closing the first tab when they click on the second file would accomplish the same thing.
How can this be done?
When you deal with opening links, first of all, what you can do is limited. Indeed, browsers (IE, Chrome, etc...) can be configured by the users to open links in new tabs, windows, etc... and you as form developer cannot change that.
I have made a jsfiddle to reproduce your situation and propose a solution you can test. I don´t guaranty it will work as I use a Mac but I also describe a better solution below.
You can find it here:
https://jsfiddle.net/chevdor/45k40npv/
I guess the first example (#1) is what happens for you at the moment.
Using the 'target' attribute, I tried to implement a solution that may work for you. Click on #2 and #3 and check whether this work.
I cannot test that since I use a Mac.
You can read more about the target attribute here:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
Another solution that would give you more control is to use an iFrame control. I think it comes in standard with SmartForms now. If not, you can for sure get it from the community site. I recommend you create a new View with this iFrame and define one parameter (string) called "url".
Let´s speak in K2 rules languages :)
"When the parameter changed", "and the parameters is defined", if you 'Transfer data' passing your URL to the iFrame control, it will display your doc. If the user clicks another document, it will update the SAME iFrame. With this solution, no tab will ever be involved.
Please note that it will work great for any document supported by your browser. Some types may require a plugin. Other documents (ie zip, etc..) will NOT appear but be downloaded instead.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,

google custom search engine control search results

My question is simple, how do I make a certain page be find-able by a specific keyword.
cse it's working fine it just don't manage to find everything he supposed to.
Google custom works like google search, manipulating results may not be possible, however, check out the synonyms tab in google.com/cse.
Say your users search for MBA you can configure it to show results for Master of Business Administration

Eclipse: search text in documentation pane

Is there a way to search for text in the documentation pane of Eclipse?
E.g. see the attached screenshot showing some Android SDK documentation:
and see this screenshot showing the Search menu:
I can't see how you can do a search. And Cmd F doesn't seem to do anything either.
This is basically a web browser pane. Sadly it is quite limited in functionality, you can't search within the view (and of course not within the documentation database instead of the currently shown document).
So the work around is to open the document in a complete, external browser. In this case it is easy to find the document (http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html) but sometimes it might be annoying to find the URL as this limited web browser view doesn't even tell it to you or gives you a possibility to get it.
If it was about site search and not searching withing the page and if the site doesn't offer a site search (this one does) then of course you can use Google with a site:developer.android.com parameter; similar for other search engines.
