Custom FA Search Buttons

What this script does

It adds custom, user-defined search buttons to the right of the search box. They can be used as shortcuts for frequent and/or complex searches.

You can test the default ones here:

• Rubber
• Petrification
• Sweets

Installation

1. Install Tampermonkey as a browser extension
2. Click the Tampermonkey addon in your browser and select "Create new script"
3. Delete all code in the editor and paste in the script above.
4. Configure as you see fit.

Config

To edit the buttons that appear, see customButtons. Add searches in the form "Display text": "Search" where Display text is what text the button shows and Search is what the script searches for. You can add as few or as many as you like, so long as they're separated by commas.

You can also edit the globalSuffix variable to edit settings applied to all searches. The one included by default sorts by newest, and removes every submission type that isn't art.

If you want to add more complex behaviour, you can change globalPrefix to be blank. You'll have to manually add /search/?q= to any searches, but you can then also specify other URLs such as profile pages, submissions, or even external links if you really want.

This script can be used to blacklist search terms or users, but I'd recommend using it in conjunction with Filter Affinity instead (Chrome, Firefox).

Known Bugs

Currently, if you try to navigate backwards (with the browser's back button) during a search, some browsers may show a "Document Expired" error each time. This appears to have been fixed at around Tampermonkey v4.16.6160.
