So our tech guy, Leonardo, just created a friggin awesome javascript for Multisearch that is lightning fast and compatible with basically all computers. Read about it over at the top of our Multisearch page, here: https://fluent-forever.com/multi-search/
This is a fantastic solution! Great work, it’s just the sort of editable tool I was looking for – thanks Gabriel!

I am using this every day now, I did notice the Hindi multisearch only shows 10 Google images per page, so it shows 2.5 rows of 4 images.
Awesome stuff! Well done guys 🙂

For me, the link sends me to a different site for the multi-search. It doesn’t open an html file, so I can’t download it. How can I make this work?
Hi Brendan! Not entirely sure if I’m following. What are you seeing when you click on, say “French MultiSearch”? (https://fluent-forever.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/french_multisearch.html )
What happens if you right-click (or control click on a mac) and select “Download Linked File”?
Hi!
I still use the old French Multi-Search and I went to set up the Spanish Multi-Search but the bookmark links at further down the page for the old search which can be used in FireFox no longer works. May I please use those again?
Thanks!
Grr..those links keep disappearing without any explanation. Thanks for pointing that out – they’re fixed now!
Thank you so much for your response & so much for all of your efforts!! Have a great week!
I clicked on the new German Multi-Search link and when I typed in my German word to search (das pferd), it only opened up Google Images and none of the other websites. Using Google Chrome as my browser. Thanks for your help with this!
Hi Emily,
in my experience the most likely cause is that Chrome is “blocking pop-ups”. You should be able to disable that on your preference menu, or better yet click “allow pop-ups from this page” when the option comes up at the top-right of the window. Once you do that you shouldn’t have to worry about it ever again. Hope this helps!

Thanks for that–I was having the same problem–only results on Google Image search!
Ciao Gabriel!!
So I am a techy person but Code is not my forte. I am doing this in Chrome and I was successfully able to set up iMacros for Chrome and got as far as adding the 6 tabs macros. That is working great! However, when I try to add Italian multisearch for Chrome – I do the same process and hit save as and close – when I do that it doesn’t actually save anywhere. I checked the macros folders that were set up by default but it just doesn’t want to save. I tried the RAW version as well as other languages just to test it out and still no dice. Thoughts?
to follow up on this one – What I ended up doing was edit one of the demo macros in the imacros app and that took. However I found that I had to have fluentforever site active on the 1st tab in addition to the 6 tabs that were created in the open 6 tabs in order to get the Italian Multi search for chrome to even work properly. Once I do that – it seems to work like a charm. I just need to NEVER close this window otherwise I have to fight with it to get it working again. I do find that the searches do tend to time out mostly in the Dizionario page but it eventually opens up.
RE Multisearch, In attempting to download the Applescript for Italian (and for all others) using Safari for Mac I get 404 Not Found. I made my Mac less secure as described. Can you help?
We’ve got it working now. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Thanks Lauren! It works great.

Wonderful. As is the book, and the whole method. Just one problem with the new Multi-search. I use Firefox. I bookmarked the Spanish multi-search link and when I click on it, it duly produces a set of tabs dealing with the word I entered at the beginning. Then when I search a second word, it produces an additional set of tabs, dealing with the second word. And so forth, except that soon it stops working because there are too many tabs. Forvo, at least, does not like that. So in order to search new words, I have to manually wipe out the previous words’ tabs, one at a time. How to avoid this?
I tried the older method with Firefox iMacros, which I had used for Turkish, replacing the Hungarian codes with Turkish sources. (Would someone like to have that code?) But I can’t download the Spanish code. The right click menu does not include Download Linked File, and I cannot find any other way to download the Spanish code. What am I missing?
I edited one of the existing multisearches to make one for Norwegian (Bokmål), thought I’d share it.
What Norwegian word would you like to multisearch? Type below, then press enter please.
document.getElementById(“boxu”).onkeydown = function(e) {searchy(e)};
function searchy(e)
{
if (e.which == 13)
{
var q = document.getElementById(“boxu”).value;
window.open(“http://en.bab.la/dictionary/norwegian-english/” + q); window.open(“https://translate.google.co.jp/#no/en/” + q);
window.open(“http://images.google.com/search?q=” + q); window.open(“http://www.forvo.com/word/” + q + “/#no”);
window.open(“http://no.thefreedictionary.com/” + q);
document.getElementById(“boxu”).value = “”;
}
}
Thanks, Alex! I’ll show this to Gabe, and we appreciate your taking the time to share it.

Today I found out I can edit code and make a Swedish multi-search, so the link is below.
http://pastebin.com/x96v2CjE
I geared it towards my own needs by allowing chrome to automatically translate the Swedish text(accessible in chrome settings/advanced settings). I find the lexin dictionary with its IPA especially useful; here is a link from Wikipedia to help with Swedish IPA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Swedish
tackar.
p.s – any mistakes please let me know, this was a first try but constructive criticism is welcomed.
Ronald, Thank you for sharing your Swedish Multi-search. I have added your lexin line to my Swedish Multi Search. Here are some lines you might want to consider adding to yours:
window.open(“http://www.ord.se/oversattning/engelska/?s=” + q + “&l=SVEENG”);
window.open(“https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/” + q +”#Swedish”);
window.open(“http://en.bab.la/dictionary/swedish-english/” + q );
… and, of course, here is the line for Google Translate:
window.open(“https://translate.google.com/#sv/en/” + q );
THANK YOU!!
Did the German version break last week? I can’t get it to pull up anything other than the first tab.
Hi Lonnie,
Thanks for reaching out! I reached out to our tech team regarding the German version of multisearch.
Which web browser are you using? If you’re using Safari 11 on Mac, they don’t currently have a fix for the multi search only opening up one tab. While they’re looking further into the issue, please use another browser.
If you are using any other browser and can only get a single tab to open up, please double check that pop ups are not blocked. If the tabs still aren’t opening up, please let me know the browser type and version being used with the multi search and I’ll have our team test it out!
Best wishes,

yeah this isnt working for me either. on chrome and want to search spanish words
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your comment! Our tech team was able to use the Spanish multisearch on Chrome (Version 61.0.3163.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)).
Please double check that pop ups aren’t blocked on the browser you’re using. Then, if the tabs still aren’t opening up, please let me know what version of Chrome and operating system are being used, and I’ll have our team look into it.
Best wishes,
Hillary
