The easier ways are this: 1. Create a trigger in QS for Google Search, Search For..., and a blank third pane. Assign this to a keystroke (I use control-command-g). Then you can just type the keystroke, the text and hit return. You don't even have to activate QS (with command-space or whatever you use) ahead of time.
2. Create another trigger for Current Selection, Find With..., Google Search. Then when in most other apps you can highlight text and hit the keystroke assigned to this trigger and QS will open your browser with the Google search results. Basically it's just highlight and one keystroke. Both of these triggers can be a little tricky to setup if you've never done them before. Details are in the old manual and are still correct. Just turn to the Web Searches section. http://mysite.verizon.net/hmelman/Quicksilver.pdf Howard On Sep 11, 2012, at 5:38 AM, Guy Manchester wrote: > An update on my situation: The service disappeared again quite soon after I > dropped my last comment in here.
