Searchling alternative
Authored by: leebennett on Dec 02, '02 09:31:30PM

Hey, thanks for Searchling! I love it.

For anyone who, for whatever reason, would rather not run an extra app to search Google, here's another great way of accessing Google. Granted, it only searches web sites, but if you create a toolbar favorite linked to the javascript line I've pasted below, rather than loading the Google web page, you immediately get a little popup window where you can type your keywords, after which, you get the Google results.

Someone who knows more about this type of stuff could probably modify the link so you could have a second button to search images, or another to search videos, etc.

The link is ...

javascript:void(q=prompt('',''));if(q)void(location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q='+escape(q))
