Add a new data store for Google search

[sos]

Google make their search API available as a RESTful service. A dojox.data store should be written to access it.

[sos]

Patch to implement this feature

[sos]

I've discovered a bug with the store, relating to using non-web based search, e.g. blogs. This will be fixed tonight, and a new patch submitted

[sos]

Update patch that implements multiple different stores, one for each type of search

[jaredj]

Will look at this soon! This sounds really cool. Thanks for doing the initial work on it. :)

[jaredj]

Looked at it a bit, fixed a few things, added a demo that attaches it to grid, tried to remove the usage of simpleFetch, though I don't know if that is necessary

Overall, I think you have some bugs in the paging mechanism. Start/count don't work quite as expected when it is trying to get subsets. This shows up particularly in grid. For some reason it only shows the first page. Could you take a look at your paging logic again and see why it is acting funny? I looked over it some, and will do so more later, but I haven't figured it quite out yet.

My version of the patch with extra demo + some attempted fixes.

[sos]

Sure, will look in to it. Do you know of any specific tests, or combination of tests, that it fails? I included all the standard tests, which it passes. Perhaps we need to extend the basic set of tests for more coverage.

Updated patch with paging errors fixed

[sos]

Patch with more fixes, and tests for Image gallery and Slideshow

[sos]

Patch dojox.data.GoogleSearchStore?_20080501_3.patch also includes a fix for dojox.image.Gallery, where it was broken if a store other than one of the Flickr stores was used.

[jaredj]

More cleanup. Fixed a few accidental globals, one invalid test, some structure, and jslint complaints.
