'''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

url. This is a wonderfull way of accessing your [http://www.google.com/search?q=bookmarklet&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 bookmarklets].

* In your bookmark, find and replace what you searched for with %s (If it does not appear, you cannot use a quicksearch here)
