I'd like to replicate that using the KeySearch extension of Safari's. For KeySearch, you just move the mouse (or hit Cmd-L) to get into the address
bar, and then type the equivalent shortcut: "gi 49ers logo".

For the life of me, I can't seem to have a trigger that will put the cursor in the third pane, and once the command executes, just enter the terms into
the address bar.

This might be possible with AppleScript, but probably isn’t necessary. I’m not sure if the extension you’re using makes KeySearch act like one of the built-in choices, but here’s what I’ve seen…

I’ve got DuckDuckGo as the default in Safari. When I use that web search from Quicksilver (which is just https://duckduckgo.com/?q=***) to search for “cookie recipe” or something, that text appears in Safari’s address bar as if I had typed it there. So Safari is obviously examining the current page’s URL and doing some magic on it. Maybe the same is true for KeySearch?

Why is entering the text in the address bar better than what you’ve been doing with ⇧⌘L?

Also, if KeySearch can’t be made to act like a built-in search, note that [DuckDuckGo has similar shortcuts](https://duckduckgo.com/bang), like `!i` for Google Images and `!w` for Wikipedia.
