Re: Moving from slickrun

['Nathan Henrie' via Quicksilver]

I've never been a heavy user of the web search plug-in (Firefox with DDG as my default engine works pretty well for this purpose and syncs between my Mac and my iPhone). However, it is a super popular plug-in for exactly the use case you're describing, including custom search engines you implement yourself. Dig into its docs and examples.

I.e. for Amazon it's: Keyword: amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=$I$ Typing amazon 1984, will result in https://www.amazon.com/s?k=1984 Same goes for Jira, worldcat and so on. That is, the search is not necessarily done by google, but per specific site. Thanks again.

A link to an example will be great. Assuming you have the Web Search plug-in installed, it should be pretty simple. Call up Quicksilver Type enough to find the Google search item. (For most people just ‘G’ is enough. If not, the more you use that item, the less you’ll have to type to find it over time.) Hit ⇥ twice to get to the 3rd pane, or if you’re using the default “smart” spacebar behavior, just hitting spacebar should take you there Type “hammer” and hit ↩ So all together, it should just be “g␣hammer↩”. There’s more detailed information in the manual, but it was written before Smart spacebar was introduced. -- Rob McBroom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
