Patrick created it but there are a few of us that can change it as needed.

You can do this several ways.

  * You can add a new “Web Search List” under the Custom area of your catalog 
and add them by hand.
  * You can stick the search URLs (containing ‘***’) in your browsers 
bookmarks, and assuming those are scanned, you can use them.
  * You can maintain a text file that just lists a search URL on each line and 
tell Quicksilver to index that (though I don’t think you can provide a nice 
human-readable name this way)

I use the first method. There are very few search engines I want so the 
published lists tend to contain a lot of noise.

I’d just send the corrected search string to this list. One of us will get it 
fixed.
