Flock: Web2.0 and all that buzz

<< < (3/4) > >>

(yes I know opera can do this too, no need to repeat it; we are talking about how great flock is though)

And this is how I search in flock

[o]First, I go to a website that offers search capabilities: Flock: Web2.0 and all that buzz
[o]Then, I right-click into the search field and select "Add a keyword for this Search": Flock: Web2.0 and all that buzz
[o]Now I have to fill in the name of the bookmark and the keyword of course: Flock: Web2.0 and all that buzz
[/list]

That's basically it! You can now search using "dc" as keyword.  :D

I will show you an example below.

[o]Into the location bar I type the keyword followed by the search terms: Flock: Web2.0 and all that buzz
[o]After pressing enter, I see the results: Flock: Web2.0 and all that buzz
[/list]

I find this extremely useful and already have added a dozen or so "search engines" this way.  :Thmbsup:
 

mouser:

Just a small question, housetier, does it work with Firefox? I'm using Flock at the moment, by I wonder if Firefox is the same as it.  :tellme:

housetier:
VSiAQ, it works in a similar way. In FF you can assing keywords to your bookmarks. If the bookmarked url contains "%s", firefox will replace it whatever you type on the location bar.

bookmark urlhttp://example.com/search?q=%skeywordex
if you then typed "ex foo bar" into the location bar and pressed enter, firefox will request "http://example.com/search?q=foo+bar"
