'''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, you can type in your address bar instead of the bookmarked
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].
 
'''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
