Thanks - the applescript is very useful. It nows sits in my ScriptMenu.

I want to make one of these for IMDB: what's the trick for finding the right URL?

Well, for Bartleby and VT, you simply reverse-engineer the URL you see after you enter a search string.

IMDB is a bit different, it seems. If you have the time, you can try breaking down their search form at:

www.imdb.com/Find

Not as straigtforward as VT, unfortunately, but upon first glance, not necessarily impossible.

for search by name:
