Looking for other search engines that uses arrow keys
« on: November 02, 2009, 07:28 AM »
I just saw this search engine today and I was wondering if there are other better search engines like this (or a Greasemonkey script that adds this kind of look and feel to Google)

I use google search enhanced keyboard navigation greasemonkey script plus SearchKeys add-on.

After the google search shows results, the 'marker' is on the 1st result by default. Pressing return goes to it. To go down and up the search results, 'j' and 'k' are the shortcuts.

Alternately, if I want to go to say 4th result I just press the number 4.

Check the attached screenshot.

Thanks sri but I already know of that script.

Sorry, if I didn't include that in the topic. I wasn't sure if it was unnecessarily prolong the thread because I already wrote arrow keys in the topic title.
