SearchStatus FAQ
- Does SearchStatus contribute to my Alexa ranking?
- Yes. SearchStatus users form part of the panel of toolbar users that contribute towards Alexa statistics. The same applies for Compete.
- I click on the Firefox logo to install and nothing happens.
- Have you allowed www.quirk.biz to install extensions? A yellow bar should appear at the top of the browser window when you click, with a button to allow the site permission to install SearchStatus. Once SearchStatus is installed, it appears in the bottom right hand corner, but you can place it anywhere in the browser chrome through the Options menu.
- Does SearchStatus work on a Mac?
- Yes, it works on any platform that Firefox can run on.
- Popup windows are not correctly sized.
- Try going into the Options menu and moving SearchStatus to a different part of the browser.
- SearchStatus doesn't do anything/crashed my browser!
- Older versions of Firefox have some remaining bugs in the extensions code. Try creating a new profile as described here and installing SearchStatus there. (Your old profile will remain intact).
- Is SearchStatus spyware?
- No! The Google PageRank ranking sends your current URL and a hash of it to Google. The Alexa Rank ranking sends your current URL domain, your local IP address and a unique constant to Alexa Web Services. The Compete ranking (disabled by default) sends your current domain and a unique constant to Compete. The Linkscape ranking (disabled by default) sends your current URL to Linkscape. All of these displays can be turned off independently.

What Our Clients Say
When I see the Quirk Newsletter pop up in my inbox I think oh goody! I can read all the latest news and views from the Quirk Family, of which I really feel a part of. My favourites are the humane stories of the Quirk Family and of course I love to read the articles by my brilliant beautiful granddaughter, she is fantastic. The thing about the Quirk Organisation is the vibrant excitement that comes through from all the articles - no doom and gloom, just all upbeat. I love when they get behind a campaign and really follow it through and take the public along with them. I pass the letter on to many different counties especially any article from the Princess of Web, Sarah. So keep them coming. Xxx"
