It's keyword.enabled because there's also a keyword.URL value you can use to specify what URL string it will use to auto-complete address-bar entries it deems to be "search queries." By default, keyword.URL uses Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky," but I've changed it to use yubnub.org's "command line for the Web" instead. (The keyword.URL value for that is "http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=";.) In addition to that, though, I also have a few personal bookmarks and bookmarklets stored locally with individual keywords I can use. -- Brad Beyenhof http://augmentedfourth.com Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. ~ Igor Stravinsky -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
