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.
