Userscripts

fill-and-submit

Userscript for autofilling and submitting forms on target websites. This may help when queries cannot be passed by URL. You can then define inputs by their CSS selectors, which will be filled with URL-passed arguments once the destination website is loaded, as well as a form button that will be clicked automatically by JavaScript.

For users

Requirements

for Firefox: Tampermonkey
for Chrome: Tampermonkey
- Note that there is now a requirement to enable Developer Mode in Chrome.

Install

In your browser, open https://trovu.net/userscripts/fill-and-submit.user.js
If you have installed the requirements beforehand, a dialog should now open and offer to install the userscript.
Install and you are done.

For shortcut editors

Creating a shortcut that uses the userscript

The shortcut URL should look like this (line breaks only for clarity):

https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/search.jsf#
  trovu[fill][%23simpleSearchForm\:fpSearch\:input]=<query>&
  trovu[submit]=%5Bid%5E%3D%22simpleSearchForm%3AfpSearch%3Aj%22%5D

So to make use of the userscript, add a hash parameter (after a #), called trovu. It must contain the properties [fill] and [submit].

Given the example above, it:

opens the URL
fills the input field found by the CSS selector #simpleSearchForm:fpSearch:input with the value from <query>
submits the form with the submit button selected by [id^="simpleSearchForm:fpSearch:j"]

Documentation:

trovu[fill]: array containing selectors and values
- trovu[fill][selector1]=value1
- trovu[fill][selector2]=value2
