Ah. I think I understand now. So, I think what you need to do is call
'direct(term)' if 'fname' isn't a function... maybe something like this:
// ...
if (searches[fname])
searches[fname].fun(term);
else
{
try
{
if ( typeof fname == 'function' )
eval(fname + "()");
else
direct(term);
}
catch(e)
{
// ...
}
}
// ...
I'm shooting from hip here, so this might not work. But, I'm pretty sure
there's a 'direct' function that will try to determine what to do with the
string, which should result in launching the bookmark URL.
