Guys I have a question, hoping you can help me out with this one. I have a bookmarklet;

javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://other.example.com/search.php?search='+location.href,'_self ','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));

which takes URL of the current webpage and search for it in another website. When I use this bookmarklet it takes the whole URL including http:// and searches for it. But now I would like to change this bookmarklet so it will take only the www.example.com or just example.com (without http://) and search for this url. Is it possible to do this and can you please help me with this one?

Thank you!

JavaScript can access the current URL in parts. For this URL:

http://css-tricks.com/example/index.html

window.location.protocol = "http"

window.location.host = "css-tricks.com"

window.location.pathname = "/example/index.html"
