Default Quick Searchs
| Service | Keyword |
| Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" | goto |
| Dictionary.com | dict |
| Google's stock quote | quot |
Usage
Just type the keyword in the adressbar, followed by your entry,
dict parallelopipedon
will give you the meaning of the word 'parallelopipedon'.
Quicksearches are implemented by bookmarks with a keyword.
You can do the same for your bookmarks, just right-click on a bookmark and choose 'properties'. In this pane you can fill in the keyword, which from now on, youcan type in your address bar instead of the bookmarked url. This is a wonderfull way of accessing your bookmarklets.
Add new quicksearches
- Do a search on the site you want to add a quicksearch to.
- Bookmark the page you are brought to.
- In your bookmark, find and replace what you searched for with %s (If it does not appear, you cannot use a quicksearch here)
- Add a keyword
