Search from the address bar

Hey

I think it would be great if I could search from the title bar like firefox, so i can just do:

google keyword
googleuk keyword
wikipedia keyword etc...

and it will search the right site, it would be even better if there was an option so we could add our add search filters. So we could just do:

add the keyword: google, so that when we go:

google keyword

it goes: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s

Hey Adam,

Here is one of my favorite Firefox/Flock hacks.

You can always change your address bar to go to a Google search result page for your query:

Type about:config in the address bar
Filter: keyword.url
Double the current keyword.url and paste in http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=

OO thats a nice trick. Is there anyway to use keyword searchs though, as I want to be able too do: google and it will take me too google.com or if i type in google search_keyword it will show me the google results etc.. That would be a nice extra!

Got a little workaround for that one

You just set the config option mentioned above to a site of yours (www.mysite.com/myscript.php?search=) that will then process your given input and redirect you accordingly

this way you are not depened on the installed searches on yout flock and can easier customize your search engines

I think therefore I am, I thought therefore I was.....I think
