Download
Using Insights
Insights increases the speed you access and present information on your site. It makes any information almost instantaneously available.
Let's say I want to link snazzy archives to my exact plugin page.
If I am not sure of the exact link to that page I would need around 1 minute to open a new window, search for this page, copy the link and paste it. With Insights everything is done in couple of seconds.
Adding images
What if I wrote a post about mountains and wanted to insert a generic picture of a mountain:
With Insights it takes few seconds:
What about a Video?
Easy as it can be. Find a relevant video and click Add Video!
Google Maps
With Insights you can add real maps to your posts using Google Maps interface. You can add markers and draw paths too.
When you are satisfied, Insights will add a map image to your post.
Wikipedia and Google
Insights also allows you to search Wikipedia and Google. Insert the links or read the articles with ease:
Installation
1. Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
2. Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
3. Use the Options page to change your options
4. If you want to use Google Maps module then get your free Google Maps key here.
4. Write a new post. You will notice Insights toolbar. Use it :)

Looking for a WordPress SEO expert?
Hi! My name is 
150 Comments
I can announce that version that works with Google, Yahoo and Bing image searches is a work in progress!
Hi Thanks for the wonderful plugin. I love the search image feature, but I don't use flickr for images. I take my own photos and place them in a folder on my server (sometimes inside my WordPress directory, sometimes outside). I'd like to be able to browse these folders and place a thumbnail of the image with a link to a larger image.
I've seen a few people have already asked. But, do you think you will be adding the ability to search images from directors on my own blog?
I'm not a coder, even though I'd love to learn. But let me know if there is any other way I can help... donations, tester or whatever.
Thanks, mikemike
Like all your plugins this one is very usefull. Thank you!
I have suggestion. Maybe someone already said about it...
You make search only for Flickr, but it would be very good to add Google Image Search option. On Flickr very often I can't find pic I need. Using Google I find them in 10 seconds. Adding Google Image Search feature will make this even faster and easier.
I love this plug-in but it inserts images that are licensed for use only with attribution and it does not provide an attribution. Any way to fix that?
Ir provides an attribution by linking to the original source which is fine with flickr. You can add more manually.
Hey Vladimir,
Thanks for the cool plugin. I am wondering if this works for bloggers who have not even added any meta data to their posts? I am working SEO'ing on a blog with bloggers who are very new to SEO and have no meta data, so the plugin seems to not be pulling in anything.
Please advise.
Thank you, Vladimir.
Dali
Amazing plugin, thank you!! I actually looked it up after reading you book and am thrilled. I would love it if I could use Insights to search the media library, as well.
Thanks again!
hello,
is it support for image cache?
Great plugin! Thanks for maintaining this.
I have three suggestions:
The ability to specify the alignment for an image
The ability to have images uploaded into the user's own media library, in case the original image is removed
The ability to include the title and/or description from the image's Flickr page
Hi, it is a VERY good plugin! But i'm having one problem... when inserting the Google or News items, it is inserting the without the text between tags... so the link doesn't appear. It should look like this right... title. It's inserting without the title right now. Thx!
This is very nice and helpful plugin.Thank you for your great work.
Hey man.. Absolutly great plugin..
One suggestion maybe.. the links made by the google searchpart.. can they link in a new window? that would be another huge time saver.. altough it is a very small detail..
Much Love from the Netherlands
Arend
Vladimir, I am using this plugin on my site, and really enjoy the features. I am, however, curious if you have considered making it so that the insert map feature inserts a dynamic google map which can be zoomed in and out? Also, it would be useful if there were some way of labeling markers, as I have some maps with several markers on them. I would love to hear if you have any plans regarding these features.
Thanks, Mark.
Vladmir:
Fantastic! So simple.Thanks for pointing me to the obvious solution. I guess I'm just not expecting Insights to be as easy and complete as it is. Can't tell you how much I'm enjoying it. (And I have your Blue Grace theme, too.)
A fan,
Vera Marie Badertscher
Whoops, didn't notice that was Mark that answered my last question. Thanks, Mark.
Vera
Thanks for the reply about the alignment of pictures, but my point is that in Wordpress, when you click on insert images, you get choices, including left, right and center. Do I have to insert code to get the pictures to align where I want them with Images? If so, where can I find out how to do that?
Vera Marie Badertscher (too many letters for the name field above)
Hi Vera Marie. Once you have inserted a picture, or a map for that matter (since maps created by insights are also converted to images), go to your post where the image has been inserted and left click on the image. After left clicking on the image, two icons should appear and one will be for editing the image, and the other will be for deleting the image. If you click on edit image, then you will be presented with the options to align left, right, center, etc. that you are looking for. I hope this helps.
Mark
I think Insights is fantastic, and I'm telling everybody what a wonderful plug in it is. I just have one question. Is there a way that I can wrap the words around a picture? With Word, you have the choice of placing picture left, right or center, but with Insights, I have not found any way to control its location in the post.
Thanks so much for this great tool.
Vera Marie
Hi the inserted image is just like any other WP uploaded iamge so you should be able to align it left or right.
A Demo side Online on the Net?
Thanks....
Thanks Vladimir a lot, this is a great plugin. This is a true time saver.!!!!!
Hi,
first of all: Great Plugin, its awsome!, but I have a suggestion, why not include Google Images search?
regards
I coded a version that works with google, yahoo and bing image search but haven't released it yet.
Just loaded and activated your plugin did a post but can't locate the tool bar. The only page I get say's "Insight" Enter the number of search results you would like to see for your searches and\or Turn on Google Maps module?
Did the plugin fully upload or am I missing something with the instalation?
Thanks Vladimir!! It is a very good plugin. Well done
As Gary Taylor noted:
"Also, it would be good if I could highlight text (as if making a hyperlink) and then have Insights make a link when I find something I want to link to (from my site, Wikipedia, Google) instead of just inserting the hyperlinked phrase [object]."
I have installed insights and I have also noticed this bug, but only when testing on internet explorer. The insert link feature works fine for me in FF and Chrome (have not tested Safari). Is there any word on when this might get addressed?
Very nice plugin! However, it would be great if it could run together with the FCKEditor plugin. I'd love to have the functionality and convenience of both tools together.
But what's much more important: it would be great to be able to configure the locations to search in more detail. My postings are for example in German, so I have no use for searching the english Wikipedia, but I'd rather need the German one. Which should just be a matter of slightly tweaking the URL you use to retreive the results. With that, it can surely be implemented the ugly way by simply changing the source code or the database entries of the plugin, but I don't want to have to do this everytime there's an update for the plugin...
I used your plug in for the Google map capability. But the previous version stopped working. I upgraded to the latest version and it interfered with my pages menu: either new pages wouldn't show up in the menu or if I changed the status of the page from published to draft - the page still appeared published. So I'm deleting your plug in for now. Hope you can fix it.
This seems as though it's going to be a useful plugin, but a little more troubleshooting would be helpful. I have uploaded it, activated it, and used it to search..no problem, went to insert a video, toggled visual to html and back, the video shows up in my post, however there's this part of the code that shows above the video 27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"> I have tried reinserting using html and toggle to visual, tried putting between code/code and even tried deleting that part of the code..(it came back..lol) so any suggestions on how to get that code out besides turning the font white...
Hello there, thank you very much for this wonderful plugin!
Two ideas (you might have thought of already) :
1) When adding a link to the post - to be able to do it in HTML editor, and not just the visual editor.
2) To be able to add more search engines (like wikipedia in other languages and so on)
Thanks again!
Tal
Plugin looks awesome and can't wait to use it, unfortunately when I installed, it doesn't seem to want to work. When I click on the search button, for any item - I get no results - nothing happens. I check the installation instructions to see if I missed something, but seems to be pretty straight forward.
I love this plugin! The only problem I have with it is that it adds hspace=5 in the image tag and it breaks my design! I removed the attribute from the js file and everything works now. I suggest that you remove all the styling from the generated tags so that it doesn't clash with css styles.
Otherwise this plugin is GREAT!
any chance to modify the plugin so it includes links to the "real" image with flickr? right now it points to the page containing the picture :-( so a plugin like thickbox or whatever doesn't pick the link to the picture up as such...
Great work!.. Personaly, i will make this aditions:
1-Image cache options
2-Google images or other resources.
From Uruguay thanks and congratulations Vladimir.
I think i`ve found a bug;
in WP 2.8.1, if i include a My Blog link it inserts a link with title: [object]
And the original selected text is gone
Hi..
Insights is a great plugin..
but unfortunately I am not able to configure it..
I installed WP on awardspace free hosting..
all things seem to go fine but I can access the insights options page..
it returns a 404 error like the page is not there..
I have the WP 3.8 installed..
I can see the insights fields while trying to add comments but I cant get no result for image search and I get an error on videos search " Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/amityadav.awardspace.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/insights/insights-ajax.php on line 207
No videos found"
something like that..
please help me out here..
Can you add "Google Images" option?.
Hey Vladimir,
I recently had some trouble with a blogger refusing to attribute my flickr photos that he used on his site.
He cited INSIGHTS as the problem as the your plugin had not told him that the images found/chosen were available under Creative Commons.
I made it known to the individual that he should always check (read the end comments at this post - http://thereallymobileproject.com/2009/06/nokia-n97-the-definitive-verdict-maybe ) and he still 'blamed' INSIGHTS.
More of an FYI I guess.
great plugin. Good job done.
I have tought about adding a cache function to Insights (like the plugin flickrRSS offers) to view also the pictures from Flickr implemented by Insights when the Flickr website is blocked. Could you please give a hint to do this? Or maybe will you add a cache function with one of the next updates of your plugin? Thanks a lot!
Here's a problem I'm having. I use insights to search images, then I copy/paste the image link into my post. I'm using the Thesis Theme, which automatically generates thumbnails for excerpts. But it doesn't seem to be able to generate thumbs from offsite images. Would it be possible for insights to curl the chosen image into my uploads folder and post code for the local copy of the picture?
CCM,
1st highlight some text in your post (Add or Edit Post) and then click on the Insights pencil! The highlighted text now becomes a link. Done.
R
I don't see any last most important instruction about HOW to put the search results INTO the actual post. I have clicked on the pencil icon and nothing happens. I have dragged the pencil icon into my post where I want it to appear but that only generates a dot, I have c&p'd the code from the results form into my post, and it shows up simply as unlinked and essentially code/text within the post. I am simply trying to add a text link at this point, and having no luck. It says to "use it" here in the instruction, and I have used it but there is that one step missing! Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
I installed Insights too.Excellent.High level.
When I install Insights, it won't load. It says the stylesheet is missing.I downloaded it from the link on this site which seems to fetch it from the WordPress themes page. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Thanks, this is an awesome plugin!
Would it be too difficult to implement inserting attribution for the flickr images in a caption?
Julian
Vladimir, I installed Insights, mainly for the Google Maps feature. I'm able to search for a map, but when clicking on the "Add Map" button, saving the post and clicking on "Preview," the map does not show up.
I want to test this before using it on an actual post. Should the map show in Preview? If so, do you have any ideas for troubleshooting why the map is not showing up?
This is a wonderful plugin -- I do hope I can get the Google Maps feature to work.
Thank you!
will this work if your using Windows Live Writer as your client?
I have installed insights and it is NOT working at all. What should i do?
Does it work from localhost on local server(With working internet off course)? I only manage to get wikipedia and other text results, but no pictures or video.
i never thought that there's a wp plugin that works like zemanta software. great plugin. thanks
I read above 154 Comments to "Insights", but I see only 2. How can I read the other 152?
This plugin is really great! If you could add the options from YouTube allowing the user to specify the size of the video to embed, that would be awesome. I realize that this can be done manually in the code after the fact, but it would be far better for less experienced users if it were done from right in the plugin.
Hi there! I love the idea of this plug-in but I can't get it fully working. Using WP 2.7.1 this installs fine. I can change the settings and it shows up where it's supposed to on the Posting page. However, if I do a search using My Blog, Images, or Videos (All other aspects of the plugin work fine!) I get the following error:
Warning: require_once(/home/glaceau/wp-settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/glaceau/w0rdpress.conf on line 75
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/glaceau/wp-settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/glaceau/w0rdpress.conf on line 75
Now, I have pulled my wp-config file outside of my blog directory and renamed it for security purposes. In the old wp-config.php file I have:
<?php
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/../../w0rdpress.conf' );
Every other plugin works fine but for some reason I can't get this one to work quite right.
Can you help me?
Thank You!!
Thanks for this great plugin, its really help me esp.to insert google map on a post.
keep the good job. Spasiba kamerad !
Hi there,
I was really excited to use your plugin but I seem to be having issues with it. I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_nonce_field() in /home/missxu/luckymissxu.com/ramblings/wp-content/plugins/insights/insights-options.php on line 26
how do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, my english is too bad... Insights plugin is really great ! But I have a bug with my Admin Page when I write a new post : the toolbar is off when I click on "HTML" and then clik back on "Visual"...
Details in french (sorry) :
'avais suspecté deux extensions installées l'une après l'autre (avant tout fonctionnait à merveille) : Plugin Central et Insights... J'ai désactivé les deux... sans résultat... J'ai supprimé les deux... sans résultat... Et souci complémentaire quand je veux écrire un article, l'éditeur s'affiche en mode HTML... ce que je tape apparaît normalement... Si j'essaie de passer en mode visuel, ce que je tape s'affiche en blanc (alors forcément sur fond blanc ça ne le fait pas...). Bon, le côté positif des choses c'est que ce que je tape s'enregistre normalement et est publié normalement si je le demande... Mais bon, pour faire de la mise en forme simple, insérer des liens, etc... ça devient compliqué sans barre d'outils...
HELP !
COMPLEMENT :
Le souci semble venir d'insights (qui, soit dit en passant fonctionne parfaitement bien sur mon WP 2.6.5). Je me suis reconnecter avec un autre profil d'administrateur et la barre d'outil est réapparue (mais en me connectant à nouveau avec le premier profil d'administrateur, elle ne réapparaît toujours pas).
En fait, concrètement, la barre d'outil disparaît quand on passe, au cours de la rédaction d'un article, de l'interface "visuel" à l'interface "html"... Et quand on revient sur Visuel, non seulement la barre d'outil a disparu mais dans le bloc de saisie de l'article, tout s'affiche en blanc (sur fond blanc), même le curseur...
Dernière remparque : même en supprimant carrément insight, ça ne résout pas le problème...
Donc : quelqu'un à une idée ?
La solution en attendant : se créer un nouveau profil d'administrateur et surtout ne jamais passer en affichage HTML ! Si on a besoin de trifouiller les codes, il vaut mieux se déconnecter et se reconnecter via un profil qui souffre déjà de la disparition de la barre d'outil en mode Visuel (en mode HTML le bloc de saisie texte apparaît bien... mais plus de barre d'outils non plus)
Hi!
I'm wondering how the search for Flickr pictures is set up:
Is the pictures found always legal to use on a commercial page (if the non-commercial setting have not been turned on)..?
Which license are the pictures?
THANKS!
I really appreciate your plugin ! I use it mostly to link to other posts in my blogs or wikipedia articles.
I would just have a little suggestion, it would be even nicer to be able to choose where a link should be open. It could be a simple option. When i put a link on a page, most of the time i want it to be opened in a new page so that visitors stay on my page.
Again, thanks for the nice job !
-- Woods
Love your work! Is there any plans to include uploading PDFs or other documents with this plug-in?
I think this is one of the coolest plugins for bloggers. I've been trying to find something that makes looking up flickr images and your own blog post links easy. Here it is!
One question regarding flickr pics, is there a way to make it to search for pictures that are allowed to be used with commercial sites (the ones without the non-commericial usage)?
I only jumped by to say thank you for your great and insightful plugin.
Vladi, please, when you update your plugins can you please also update your changelog so we know what problems are being fixed. Thank you.
Great Plugin. Thanks. :D
Vladimir, I'd like to thank you very much for this wonderful plugin!
I write a lot of post every day, and this is a great time saver for me.
I also use you WP-Wall... You're great!
Good plugin.Thanks bro

Inisghts would be a brilliant way to implement a human moderated version of the pingcrawl plugin. Insights could search the google blog function for posts on other blogs that relate to your keywords. You could then look at the results and choose to pingback/trackback some of those posts. It -might- be good for your SEO (depending on what you think about nofollow links), but it's also a good way to get your site noticed by people (with pingbacks on other blogs) and to share links with your existing readers.
FYI...
Insights works fine on my blog and I run WP 2.7 with the K2 theme. I primarily use the "Blog", "Wikpedia" and "Google" insertion features and have been running it without any issues.
Regards,
R
When will this plug in be available for version 2.7? Looks great and I can't wait to try it but the 'warning - this plugin has not been tested with your version' is a tad bit scary ....
Hello,
Insights Images not returning pictures/results... The wheel just keeps spinning. Videos also not returning results, but all other (Google, Wikipedia and maps) do return results. Any feedback and support is appreciated.
Thank You,
Janet
Sounds like this is great. Off to investigate more now.
This plugin is amazing, but :-) i'm speaking spanish and the searches appear just in english. Same like Rene: how can configure the language?
Another question, Google Maps shows only like "maps", is possible show the satellital version? :-/
wondering if I could integrate my playlist from youtube as the main. Or have thumnails below the player and when they select the thumnail it plays in the smart youtube player. Anyway this is an awesome plugin. Thanks!
Great plugin, but is it possible to use wikipedia in Dutch.
How can i change this?
Hi,
Top plugin and have been using for some time.
One thing I do miss is some proper doco with each plugin update outlining/summarising the feature changes or fixes.
I tend to be reluctant to upgrade something until I'm aware of what the changes actually are.
Also, your plugin is noted by the WP plugin install process as not having been tested under 2.7. I run your plugin under WP 2.7 and have not had any issues - works fine. You might like to update this at some stage.
Regards,
R
I hate to tarnish a great plugin but I'm afraid video embedding doesn't work for authors. The search is fine, the gallery displays perfectly, but when you click Add Video the video object fails to appear in the editor window. Switching to HTML view reveals the HTML but when it comes to publishing the thing, the video is missing. It works perfectly for images and perfectly for the Admin user. (I've been following this idiosyncrasy for a while and was hoping it would be fixed by now).
Any thoughts anyone?
Pete.
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect
Great plugin! Something really useful and easy to use!
I love the insights plug-in! I use it for every blog post I write. Great review, Vlad.
It seems insight is rather buggy since the Wordpress 2.7 upgrade. Sometimes it inserts maps into my posts, but today it didn't. I tried to upgrade to the latest version, and nothing worked at all. I went back to the old version, because it was working yesterday.
Hello,
A related plugin called zemanta offers a way to test-drive the way it works by allowing the user to paste text in a trial window and then see the results.
Do you have an option like this?
Thanks,
Bill
I confirm Jean-Paul Horn's issue with 0.5(.1) - it did work on my local test-server, but not on my hosted server, with the same effect as Jean's.
Does this plugin work OK with WordPress 2.7 (the latest wordpress)? Any issues/conflicts with any other plugins?
Sorry I don't read all the comments... So I apologize if my request has already been made by anyone else.
What about integrating Google Images ? Flickr is good, yes, but some images cannot be found on it.
Anyway, I have just installed your plugin and I find it impressive. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the heads up, the glitch has been fixed in 0.5.1
I've hit RETURN too fast, before correcting the typo... Of course I upgraded to 0.5, not 1.5...
Hi,
first, I love this plug-in of yours. I just upgraded to version 1.5, and wanted to give you a quick feedback about a small glitch I've found. In line 123 of insights.php the processing instruction is indefinite - it reads just "<?" instead of "<?php". Some configurations (like mine) don't seem to like that. This set aside, the upgrade is perfect.
Hi Vladimir,
I think your insights-ajax.php is broken. It's missing GET options for the newly added modules. Since 0.5 the Ajax search doesn't work anymore and the Search button doesn't work either.
What a great and lovely plugin!
Thanks for the add of google blog search. I will try the new version. Excellent job, and very useful.
Version 0.5 is out today, with added support for Google Blog Search and News Search.
Hi,
Maybe you could add the google blog search and a technorati blog search: links to wordpress blog may procure ping or trackback for the site :) and procure backlinks. (even in nofollow, it could be a source of trafic).
Hello Vladimir,
Awesome plug-in and very powerful. I'm having the same issues as Harry with the generated static maps not appearing in my posts. Not sure what's going on, but Insight appears to generates the proper code. I checked by copying the code to a blank text file and saving as an html file, which produced the static map. That same code produced by Insight is not generating a map in my WordPress posts? Like Harry I'd like to see dynamic maps, but I'd be more than happy for the static one working. The other features work impeccably well in my opinion.
Thanks for your hard work,

OK, uninstalled the plugin, re-downloaded it, re-uploaded it, re-activated it but it still doesn't work.
Out of all the plugins I have evaluated recently this is on the only one which doesn't work, at least on my system.
I'm disappointed because it looks so cool and would be very useful.
Whoops! look I've spoken too soon ;-)
Good news is I was able to install and activate the plugin very easily. I was even able to get an api key for the Google map function. Options panel is easy to configure. No problem.
Bad news is it doesn't seem to work by that I mean when I write a new post and type a search string into the Insights panel, and select a radio button, when I hit the 'Search' button nothing actually happens at all.
Is it something to do with JQuery? I'm on OSX here running FF2.
Ideas:
1. Ability to add a search engine in the options panel, i.e. my own custom Google search
2. Amazon would be cool too but would need an option where we could set our localised version, i.e. mine would be .co.uk (not .com)
This is such a cool plugin, deeply appeciated.
I have a question: how could I make it search a custom Google search engine?
I've built a custom search that queries the travel sections of UK newspapers.
Fantastic Vladimir, fine working plugin, well thought about user interaction and navigation.
Of course we always want more (a good human character. Like GB, I also would like a WP media connection and also the Google image search.
Regards,
Peter
Just used your plugin for the first time on a new blog - Loving It!! But I want MORE :-) Can you think of a way to let me search my ZenCart store and business Wordpress blog hosted on a different subdomain? Thanks for the great plugin!!
... now back to blogging ...
Vladimir - another great plugin
This works so well - extremely useful and easy to use
Ciao Vladimir, great plugin, thanks! I was wondering whether there might be a way to have Insights also allow the user to choose images from among his own WP media library. WP's way to add an image/media from the library is sloooooow . . .
Just a thought that would make this plugin even better, thanks again!
Hoping all's well with you, your friend in Rome,
GB
I use wordpress 2.5.1 and it`s not working!!!
go to the write post and type a keyword and press….. nothing happens….. nothing erorrs…
have also disactivated all the other plugins and tested out and yet nothing happens
I love Insights.
It would be sweeter if it searched google images for the pictures though.
Great work.
usual fix for plugin not working can be a conflict with other plugins. Try disabling all other plugins and checking it then then if it works turning on other plugins one by one until you find the problem.
Just want to say thanks for developing this awesome plugin, works great!
Keep up the good work...
Hi, thanks for the great plugin. Especially the linking to blog posts is a huge time saver.
The Google maps is easy and nice, but totally inflexible.
- Could you make it insert dynamic maps instead of static maps? (so including arrow keys, zoomin/out, Hybrid vs map etc)
-Is there a way to add labels to markers?
- When selecting an inserted map in order it to link it to a page (with a better map), the image disappears (nothing gets linked and teh image/map is lost); bug or regular Wordpress/Googlemaps behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers, Harry
I use wordpress 2.5.1 and it`s not working!!!

Hi
Seems very promising, however like some users here, I only get a blank page when going to options. Seems the source code is there but nothing displayed.
Latest WP version installed on a Plesk server, using latest Firefox.

Released version 0.4 which ads the option to search only non commercial photos
@Ross - Thanks Ross this will be included in the new released version
If you want to avoid using non-commercial licensed photos, edit the file insights-ajax.php, and edit the search_flickr() function.
In the line that starts:
$params = array('api_key' =>
add the parameter:
'license' => '4,5,6,7',
Here are the license types:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/
Here is the api reference for photo search:
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html
Hope this helps,
Ross
Just wondering about passing link juice. Does it need to edit the wordpress' plugin source and add nofollow?
Hi Vladimir,
I sent you an email some days ago, with a (hard-coded) French version of your Insights plugin attached, but haven't heard of you.
Just wanted to know if you're OK with a French translation. Of course, if you're not, I'll respect that, and I won't distribute the translation.
Was thinking that it would be nice to have a search amazon link there too :) If you ever felt like it.

Video does not work! Please fix the "Add video" button. Video fix for 0.3.3 bring along another bug.....
IE7 seems to automatically block YouTube content.
Cookie?
"Cannot retrieve results" error happens because of the hosting server limitation (you may ask your hosting to allow the scripts external access).
Today version 0.3.3 was released - fixed the first video not showing issue.
when I press image or video search, “cannot retrieve results” keep showing up.
any support will be appreciated.
Great idea, but I can't get it to work for my blog, images, or video - it thinks for second, then says, "cannot retrieve results"
Any thoughts?
Thanks Vladimir, we might use it on our site as well. Good for outlining locations we serve.

This plugin is just great. You made WordPress even better than it is, thank you so much!
thanks for the plugin, how ever in mysite only the image and video search keep coming up something like this "Can not retrieve results"
anybody got any idea?
Interesting plugin, I'll have to give it a try. sounds a lot like http://www.zemanta.com/ but with more options.
I'd love to see this as a Microsoft live writer plug-in.
I do most of my post from live writer.
Thanks a lot.

Very cool plugin..
One Question
=============
Where do I edit to allow the Google and Wikipedia links to append:
target="_blank"
by default, when I use the plugin to add the link found to a post
Nothing happens when I click on an image or a video, it does'nt show up in the text-area. =( My WP is 2.6.2 and i use Firefox 3.0.1.
Great plugin, i love it but doesn't work in google chrome and other safari like browsers in windows, maybe didn't work in my computer :)
i hope you fix this very little bug :)
Thanks...

Thanks Vladimir, great plugin. I'll definitely keep using it. Thanks!
Very useful plugin, thank-you for your contribution. some points.
1- The searched links should open a new window, as I get the wordpress prompt, 'are you sure you want to navigate away from this page' when I check the links.
2- configurable search sites.
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
Regards
Is there any chance to change insights-ajax.php and insight.js for linking wikipedia to de.wikipedia.org?
I did it by myself. It's just a request for the future!
Perhaps an option in the admin-panel?
I hope, you understand
Regards Hartmut
Great, just what I was looking for... :-)
What do I have to change to search only german google and wikipedia?
Vladimir,
Thanks for a truly marvelous plugin - this will save me A LOT of time! I'll post about it on my blog.
Also, I'd second Prof Kienstra's comment about automatically crediting work from Flickr.
Fantastic plugin. Thank you again.

A great plugin, a small suggestion however: is it possible to add automatic accreditation to the photographs you add using insights. Most users on Flickr do not mind you using their photographs, but do want a link back, which i think is only fair. However, now you have to manually add the link. Maybe you could implement something like Photodropper does (a small link and (c) notification beneath every photo added).
Hello,
greate theme, i'm just testing it .....
I got a question because insight, in the downloadet version, from this site, i have no "maps" button in the search field ?!
Any idea?
Thanks, Uwe
Nice plugin..Thanks Bro..
A couple of other suggestions for features:
1. Search local folder (images)
2. Search local folder(videos)
3. Search Google images (images)
4. Search Picasa images (users account)
Thanks!
Thank you! It's very useful.
You've done it again! Great plugin, I'm sure we'll make use of it.
In testing so far, the Google map won't show up in the preview window if wp_geo (and I'm guessing other Google map plugins) is active. I can't drop wp_geo though, as Insights only inserts an image of the map, not a 'proper' Google map. Now, if version 0.3 could do that...!
Also, it would be good if I could highlight text (a if making a hyperlink) and then have Insights make a link when I find something I want to link to (from my site, Wikipedia, Google) instead of just inserting the hyperlinked phrase [object].
But it really is a great plugin - thanks!
Fantastic Plugin! Love everybit of it! makes things a lot simpler, esp back linking to wiki and the blog! Thumbs Up :D
Great work! Would be so cool if you could implement an Amazon search that generates reference-links (for partnernet) like "Amazon Reloaded".
Version 0.2 fixes issues with image and video searches on some hosts (let me know :)
I am listening to all ideas expect more options in upcoming versions.
Another fantastic plugin. Congratulations and many thanks!
But on my admin panel it works only in google, wikipedia, and map search. No blog or multimedia results, only "Can not retrieve results". Any ideas? :)
Excellent plugin! great job!
Could you please add support for the code editor for the permalink insertion? (My blog -> Add link to selected text). This would be greatly appreciated!
On second thought - I so love it, I want to translate it to hebrew. is it OK by you ? (I'd love for an Email response)
Great plugin!
I just gave it a go and I am loving it. I hope to see it develop more.
Tal.
Looks like a very promising plugin *o*
Just one question before I install it, can I limit the search for images to my own flickr account?
Vladimir,
A couple of other suggestions for features:
1. Search local folder (images)
2. Search local folder(videos)
3. Search Google images (images)
4. Search Picasa images (users account)
Thanks!
This plug-in is great and will help out many Wordpressers! Have you thought of adding in the option of applying a selectable custom field? I have some sites setup that users (authors) login and create posts, but it is very difficult for them to enter in custom fields such as home_feature_photo or thumbnail, which many themes utilize now. It is easy for many of us that create the sites, but not others. Maybe in the admin area a selectable custom fields drop down, that you can apply to the images? or something like that would be great.
