I want to create something that does not appear in searches. Is this possible in Beaker notebook?
Yes, click the unlisted checkbox when you publish your notebook. The resulting publication cannot be found by search or otherwise be listed on our web page. Only someone with the URL (which cannot be guessed) can view your notebook. We plan to support true access control in the future.

I would like to add URL links into a web-based Google Drive folder. Searching online, it appears that this was once possible with files that ended in a .glink extension. I'm looking for documentation on the file format so that I can create them programmatically.
[EDIT] Why do I want to create .glink files? Because I want links (bookmarks, URLs) to be able to appear in my Google Drive web page and to be able to click on them an go to the page. Microsoft OneDrive supports this functionality.
GLINKS Files
The URL link file feature was available due to a workaround with Back Up and Sync before being deprecated with Drive for Desktop. The .glink seems to be patched and no longer available as it was also part of a third party tool no longer available. It seems it now only saves them as .URL and automatically gives it the icon for Google Docs, as it would take it as a simple file with text.
Checking the .url type file of Windows, when uploading to Drive it does not update as it should, even utilizing Drive for Desktop (as an alternative to sync data like back up and sync) the outcome is the one suggested above.
This is the main reason why there is no longer any documentation about the matter, due to this one not being an official feature and being also fully deleted, it can be confirm by the file type available when creating files with the Drive API:
https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/ref-export-formats
I would suggest to request a feature to allow this or to provide a new way to store URL links as before or report it to review if possible any references on how it used to work by submitting a feature request or checking the issue tracker about the matter:

Unless I'm missing something, the App Script Editor lacks the ability to find a specific function within the project.
I'd like to be able to search for a specific function and then edit it.
Alternatively, how can I view a list of functions within my project (and which .gs file each is in)?
To be clear, I have a number of (logically named) .gs script files within my project each with a number of functions within.
This is not yet an available feature for the new Apps Script IDE - however there is already a fearure request for enabling cross-file search on Google's Issue Tracker:
Search function in Apps Script editor should allow searching of all project files, not just the currently open one.
Google prioritises feature requests by popularity, so make sure to give the issue a star on the above page to let them know this is highly requested.
In the mean time, the legacy editor still has cross-file search available, so you can use this to search in all project files at once.
The new Monaco script editor lacks cross-file search, but the legacy script editor has this feature. So a workaround is to click Use legacy editor in the top right-hand corner and do your search there.
Click the star icon ☆ in the top left-hand corner of issue 175233560 to vote for this feature request and get notified of changes in status.
Yes it does seem to lack that ability as far as I can see. I use control f and then just select between the different files. It keeps the search active between files. Making it possible to find strings in other files. I would prefer if it would just tell me where but I haven't identified that ability as yet.
My requirement is to show a panel where I list the local system directory, from where I drag and drop the files inorder to perform operations on it.
In HTML5 the FileSystem API is available , but most of the browsers are not supporting.
Is it possible by using input type as file? Like we browse and select a directory, then we can see the list of files and their details?
As the previous commenters correctly noted, this is not possible because it is considered a security hole. Think about a malicious script that could read out everything on your local file system just by visiting a web page.
You can however implement file drag-and-drop like this: https://github.com/moxiecode/plupload
I recently made Google Chrome my default browser (mainly due to its bookmark and preferences syncing capabilities across multiple systems).
One thing I find increasingly annoying with it though is, that Chrome does not allow to directly open a downloaded file in an appropriate application!
In IE I was us to, that, when I clicked onto a link pointing to some document, e.g. a spreadsheet, to being asked, whether I wanted to save this document to a local file or to directly open it (in Excel in this example). This worked with all kinds of registered applications but also other formats, e.g. email addresses (mailto:-links) or Calendar entries (.ics-files) which directly opened Outlook's new email dialog with the email-address already filled int or created a new calendar entry from the .ics file, resp.
In Chrome one can only save such docs to a local file and then needs to locate that and has to open it manually. I find this always most cumbersome! Is there some plugin that allows to bring back the convenience I was used to?
And to spare me the usual comments on such feature requests right away: Yes, I am aware, that this is a potential security issue, if one opens docs from dubious sources, etc. I know, that one needs to understand what one is doing in such situations, but I think I do!
Click the little arrow beside the file, which is being downloaded and choose Always open files of this type. That will make it open automatically in the program the file type has been associated with in Windows after it finishes downloading.
I would like to develop a browser plugin/extension (I'm not sure how they differ) for a particular (possibly new) file type. To be very explicit, I would like to visit a file, "foo.org", using my browser in something like Drop Box or Google Drive and have the browser treat the file as Emacs would treat an org-mode file. Eventually I would like to develop a full Emacs plugin/extension and be able to configure the browser to handle files with this plugin/extension based on the file extension or a file grokking heuristic.
Any solution that I develop will allow the editing to take place directly in the browser's tab area, i.e. a seamless solution (as opposed the useful but seamy Edit with Emacs solution referenced below). In the same way that Chrome recognizes a spreadsheet or word document and invokes the appropriate Google Docs tool, I would like to get an Emacs-lite editor handle the foo.org file. Another way to ask the question is: how do Google Docs tools get invoked within Chrome and perform the associated editing task. And are these tools open source?
You should consider building on Ymacs which is an Emacs-like editor in the browser.
For browser extensions, there is an experimental downloads api. However, it doesn't let you monitor downloads at the moment. This is planned for the future:
In the future, you will also be able to monitor and manipulate downloads.
However, you can probably just use some JavaScript and replace all links to *.org files with links that open in a tab running Ymacs. This should have the same effect--clicking a *.org link will open it in a new tab.
Take a look at content scripts and the tab api for documentation on how to inject a script into every page and how to open new tabs.
Take a look at Edit with Emacs , it should help you get (at least) part of the way there.
