Create easy-to-use Safari search shortcuts with Sogudi Web Browsers
Sogudi is a really nice (free) plug-in for Safari that allows you to define shortcuts and search strings for easy access. For example, Sogudi comes preinstalled with a shortcut to search MacOSXHints. With Sogudi installed, just enter hint search_term in the Address Bar (replacing search_term with your own serach terms), and Sogudi will display the results. It comes with several nice shortcuts already installed (including Google (goo), dictionary.com (dict), php.net (php), etc.), and you can easily create your own. Here's one I made for searching the MacOSXHints forums (you'll understand it better after installing Sogudi):

s=&query=@@@&searchuser=&exactname=yes&forumchoice
=-1&titleonly=&showposts=&searchdate=
-1&beforeafter=after&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending
&action=simplesearch&Submit=Perform+Search
The above should be all one line with no extra spaces...

This is a totally brilliant utility, now if only it could integrate with LaunchBar... How cool would that be?

I've been waiting for something like this for ages. I was addicted to this way of working ever since I discovered the feature in Omniweb.

Yeah. Camino has it too, and it's the main reason I've been using it instead of Safari. I must have at least a dozen of them hooked up - they're so useful.

There is another similar utility called SafariKeywords that does the same thing, except uses the Google search bar instead of the address bar. To me, this makes sense: address bar for addresses, search bar for searches. And if you don't include a keyword, it still defaults to Google.

I got rid of Google Search in the address bar after installing Sogudi. I always thought it was too short while the location in the address bar was too short. Merging them into one long location+search field has resolved that to my satisfaction.

Sogudi 0.5 (To be released before Christmas) has several new features, including hijacking the Google search box to use a Sogudi shortcut instead.

The pre-release will be going out to my alpha test group in a few days, if you want to be on that list email sogudi@kitzkikz.com
