Of course, that is with the changes posted above for the script to work. Does anybody know what syntax this needs to prevent the script from tagging the "genre" labels in the Netflix q? thx.

For anyone interested, I found that if you add quotes to the search string, the end result will be more accurate. tivoSearch = "http://www3.tivo.com/tivo-tco/search.do?tsn=&dispatch=advancedsearch&searchTitle=" + "%22" + escape(thisItem.text) + "%22" + "&searchDesc=&searchCastCrew=&searchCategory=&searchGenre=&searchWhen=14&advanced_button.x=0&advanced_button.y=0"; I *love* this script, but I kept getting lots of false positive hits because Tivo was searching for ANY of the words in the title, rather than the exact title string.

I do, and it seems that greasemonkey won't work when I'm running as root. It says it's enabled, but when I click the Install button on a script, instead of the load dialog, I just get a new tab with the script source displayed.
