Okay... I copy and pasted my script
http://pastebin.mozilla.org/651822

I'm sure it has bugs and mistakes since I hardly used it before
abandoning it.

I'm also sure there's a better way to use bookmarklets then via a
google search - but my programming skills are minimal.

I thought I'd make use of the ability to have multiple keywords do the
same thing and allow for typos too:

= imdb star wars
= it star wars
= imd star wars

but I never took advantage of that. Also I got annoyed in having to
type "=" as the first character to enable the script. And editing a
keyword search is far easier than having to edit a greasemonkey
script.

An example - in the address bar "= it star wars"

= star wars
http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&num=10&as_qdr=all&q=%3D+star%20wars&btnG=Search

the equal sign starts the script and does a google I'm feeling lucky
search for "star wars" at imdb.com

I haven't used it in ages - I think I set up three sorts of things:

= a google search

= a I'm feeling lucky search

= a site search

I think it would be a good idea if greasemonkey was built-into Firefox
and there was an "advanced" setting. That way to share stuff - you
could just share a link and tell the person on the other end to be use
the advanced setting was on.

======================

Since my google setting is for 100 hits - I also used this keyword
search before the script

=
http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&num=10&as_qdr=all&q=%3D+%s&btnG=Search

That way my script only had to wait for 10 results to be loaded -
instead of 100.

======================

Local files could become bookmarklets via "=" as the first character
of a google search.
