Cool update to Insights plugin: Book search

Insights is one of my favorite plugins and I just updated it with a cool new feature, Google Book search!

If you do not know already, Google scanned and OCR'd millions of books and they are now available online at http://books.google.com.

I've added a plugin module that will allow you to quickly search through this online treasure.

This is how new module looks in action. You type in the search phrase, and select Books.

Click on any result to go to the actual page of the book where the phrase is mentioned. The link icon will automatically link the URL to the selected text in the browser.

    Hi Vladimir,

    Insights is indeed a great plugin.

    But, is it my imagination or does the plugin add a 'flickr' click to Wordpress stats 'Clicks' section. It seems that every day I use it there are just that many 'flickr' clicks.

    A minor issue I know, just wondering.
    Regards
    Fred

    Do you plan to integrate support for other languages e.g. german? At every update I have to work on your php-/js-Files :-(

    It's very a useful plugin for me as I can do my research inside WordPress. Keep it up!
