    (deleting my original question; clearly I just needed more sleep to understand the extension)

    Thanks very much for building this! This is really the kind of functionality I had wished for. :)

    So far, in Chrome, it seems a little crashy when searching all HITs; hangs instead of returning results. I may just need to reboot and will report back as to whether that helps.

    I doesn't actually crash, it just takes quite a long time. Firefox seems to handle this much better. It actually updates that "Please wait" label so that you see that somethig is happening. Chrome(+tampermonkey) just hangs and pops up Page(s) Unresponsive -dialog. Click wait (again and again) until it has finally fetched all status pages.

    Only the first full search is slow. Keep the page open and you can do other searches much quicker.

    So this is not a bug, its a feature!!!!1!! :D (at least for now...)

    Looks like Time Tracker and Extended Search won't work on same page. Add @exclude line like this to remove Time Tracker from statusdetail pages:
    Code:
    // ==UserScript==
    // @name        MTurk Time Tracker
    // @namespace   localhost
    // @author       ThirdClassInternationalMasterTurker
    // @description Manual time tracking for MTurk. Use with MTurk Status Page Chart.
    // @include      https://www.mturk.com/mturk/*
    // @exclude      https://www.mturk.com/mturk/statusdetail*
    // @version      0.3.2
    // ==/UserScript==
    
    I'll add this to next version as a default.

    LOL. Thanks for the explanation. Actually, I was just headed over here to mention that Chrome + Tampermonkey (oh, and I loved what you did with the monkey status phrases!) actually doesn't return any results for me. It opens a separate page for results matching my search...and it's blank, every time.

    I'll give it a try on Firefox soon, though! Thanks again for making it. That's so cool that I wished it and you ended up working to make it come true! Really appreciate it.

    Any luck with firefox or chrome? New version should be much faster (after first all hits search).

    No, thank You. I was already going to write a script that draws donuts like this most recent version does (0.9.5). Your wishes just made this script much more useful.

    Hi there!

    Thanks for reminding me about reporting back!

    Want to hear something silly? For awhile I kept wondering where the script had gone, because every time I looked at my Status page, it wasn't on the top. It wasn't until I just installed it in Firefox today that I read the code and saw...oh. It's on the Status detail pages, lol. Yeah, that's where I found it before. Arg!

    OK, so...squee! You're right. The updated version works fine on Firefox and Chrome. Firefox actually took a little longer and was more annoying, with all the popup messages about how there was a busy script. But the output is prettier in Firefox.

    (I love how the monkeys nap now...did I just miss that they did that before? You could make this into a cult thing, where they occasionally do things of their own volition while you're on a detail page. Although that might be a little creepy...)

    BTW, now I understand what donuts are. I had no idea what you were talking about. They're so pretty. :)

    The one thing I notice, and that is totally nitpicky, is that the search is case sensitive. For example, if I search for "castingwords" or "Castingwords", no results are returned. But if I search for "CastingWords", it can find the requester. I don't know that this is an advantage...it may just make the usage slightly more cumbersome, especially because first searches in a series take so long. That is, even if you get the capping wrong, the monkeys are still going to run off and take their time before they come back to shrug at you. Could be annoying if you are in a rush while searching (like in the case of all those research studies that blare, "DON'T COMPLETE THIS SURVEY IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED IT BEFORE" and you need to figure out if you have).

    But even with that, this is great. I can't tell you how happy I am that you made something with this functionality. I will avoid saying thank you again so that we don't get into an endless cycle of "no, no, thank You..." But I'm really loving this!
