Add Mozilla-like keyword functionality to Safari's search bar
Authored by: seven5 on May 20, '03 06:22:33PM

you my friend are a genius. a GENIUS!!!!!!

I have been wanting a PRO feature like this for a while, i wanted a way for my search bar to read my mind. I did not want to pick from a drop down for a specific search, i wanted it to just KNOW what i was searching for and where to search for it.

I sent in the idea of having search parameters, so if you searched for: web browser you would do this:

web browser -i : image search
web browser -v : Versiontracker search
web browser -m : imdb search
web browser : Google search

notice the last one has no parameter, so the default would be just google, or whatever you wanted. Now i can do this!!!!!!!

Great thinking, very innovative mind you have there. I dont know why i didn't think about this when i read the hint about directing the search bar to another search engine.

I'm gonna work on a script that will parse the parameters how i suggested, when i have something stable i'll post it here, thanks!!!!!

Let's not reinvent the wheel - how cool if somebody decides to port Dave's Quick Search Taskbar for Safari.

Sure it's for windows originally, but it is truly awesome.
Check it out.
