It's just that it's a little fiddly to set up...<BR/><BR/>First, search for some easily recognizable string in your search engine of choice, and bookmark the results page. Then go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks, select the new bookmark, and click Properties. In the Location box, find the string you searched for, and replace it with "%s" (without the quotes). Finally, in the Keyword box, enter a shortcut (e.g. "gg" for Google or "wp" for Wikipedia, both without the quotes).<BR/><BR/>Voila! If you done this correctly, you'll be able to search e.g. Google by typing "gg foo bar" in the address bar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568130245619806374.post-26025912100461560792008-06-15T23:01:00.000+03:002008-06-15T23:01:00.000+03:00Opera also has configurable search off the address...Opera also has configurable search off the address line. This is what I miss most in FF. <BR/>The best FF add=on IMO is Adblocker. Opera can achieve the same if you look deep enough. In all, Opera wins on all counts except if you like FF add-ons (many of which are already in Opera).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1568130245619806374.post-31268301384126469082008-06-15T09:16:00.000+03:002008-06-15T09:16:00.000+03:00I have to agree that the major annoyance from Fire...I have to agree that the major annoyance from Firefox is the resource hungry-ness of it (especially the Linux version). I've tried Firefox 3.0 beta, it is quite an improvement in terms of speed and memory consumption, but too bad it is too late. I've already fallen in love with Konqueror/KHTML, which is blazingly fast in my laptop, and manage to render 99% of the website out there (just fire FF for the rest 1% :D) I also really love Konqueror's ability to embed anything, for instance when I need to find online PDF documents, I can just open those PDF in new tabs. (Sure FF can embed acrobat reader, but I can't stand the sloowwwnesss)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
