#48956: the Cigars JSONP example does not work anymore as Yahoo has switched off the WebSearchService in April 2011.
We can use a similar service by Google with a few changes in the script "yahoo_remote_script.html":
(I have marked the appropriate lines with // v=here)
...
<table id="grid" dojoType="dojox.grid.DataGrid" store="wishStore"
query="{ wishId: '*' }" clientSort="true">
<script type="dojo/connect" event="onRowClick" args="evt">
var searchTerms = this.getItem(evt.rowIndex).description;
dojo.io.script.get({
// v= here
url: "http:||ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web",
content: {
// v= here
v: "1.0",
// v= here
q: searchTerms
},
timeout: 10000,
callbackParamName: "callback",
load: function(searchResult) {
listNode = dojo.byId("resultUl");
listNode.innerHTML = "";
// v=here
dojo.forEach(searchResult.responseData.results, function(result) {
var listItem = document.createElement("li");
listItem.innerHTML =
dojo.string.substitute(
// v= here
"<a href='${visibleUrl}'>${title}</a><br/>${content}",
result
);
listNode.appendChild(listItem);
});
},
error: function(text) {
alert("An error has occurred.");
return text;
}
});

#50359: I am reading via epub so the page number might not be correct. You have an example:
"Bluggh! That middle assignment statement is nasty looking. Are the quotes balanced right? Are the subscripts off? You have to look awfully close to find out. So, we use a trick from dojo.string:
for (var i=0; i < urls.length; i++) {
var listItem = document.createElement("li");
listItem.innerHTML =
dojo.string.substitute("<a href='${url}'>${title}</a>", urls[i]);
listNode.appendChild(listItem);
}
That's much better. The dojo.string.substitute method takes the hash in oneResult and applies the properties to a template. This template uses ${...}-style placeholders. So, ${url} is replaced with oneResult.url, and ${title} is replaced with oneResult.title."
You don't actually name the hash oneResult until the next paragraph. In this paragraph the hash is "urls". Not a big deal but a little confusing at first.--Matthew Doerng #50359: I am reading via epub so the page number might not be correct. You have an example:

#43101: I'm not sure what you are trying to do with these two dojo.publish statements. The first parameter should be the topic name and not one parameter with an array right? Then possibly you were going to hitch this and contents?
dojo.publish(["beforeDisplaySubmenu" , this, contents]);

#46240: "Over the next few releases, DTL will gradually replace the older template system in the bundled Dijit components." This puzzles me - none of the Dijit components have converted to use DTL, even in DojoX. And I haven't seen this fact repeated elsewhere. I suspect it's misinformed and unfounded.
