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. > Also, from time to time sites change their way of searching and some > of the searches stop working.

One of us will get it fixed. -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/>
