Chimera Googling
Authored by: deleted_user16 on Dec 02, '02 05:54:42PM
In the more recent nightly builds of Chimera, keywords have been enabled for bookmarks. This means you can specify to type 'moh' in the url bar and it'll pull up macosxhints.com, or whatever you specify.

I've set up my bookmark keywords to have google capabilities, so that I can type '? your mom' and it will come up with a google search for your mom. This is how you can do this:
1. Make sure you have a pretty recent nightly build.
2. Create a bookmark, title it whatever you want
3. Change the location to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%s
4. Change the keyword to whatever you want (I use '?')
You can now search in the url bar by typing your keyword and search item (you can use multiple word search items as well).

I hope this helps some people who didn't know this was now possible in Chimera.

On another note, I've recently been using Youpi Key for iTunes controlling and app switching.

Thanks for this, natan - I'd been using a similar concept in Opera, it's great to be able to do it in Chimera!

No problem, guys :) I stumbled upon it a few days ago and was considering submitting it to this site, but decided to submit it here instead. Here's some more search bookmarks you can use:
http://www.thesaurus.com/cgi-bin/search?config=roget&words=%s
http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=%s
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search/?index=blended&keyword=%s
http://www.IMDB.com/Find?%s
I'm sure there's more, but those are the enginges that I use most often. Enjoy!
