Getting more and more off-topic as time progresses, but here're a
couple of URL's which I use in Netscape Communicator. Put them on the
button bar for quick searches:
Google:
javascript:q=document.getSelection();for(i=0;i<frames.length;i++){q=frames[i].document.getSelection();if(q)break;}if(!q)void(q=prompt('Google
search:',''));if(q)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q='+escape(q)
AltaVista:
javascript:q=document.getSelection();for(i=0;i<frames.length;i++){q=frames[i].document.getSelection();if(q)break;}if(!q)void(q=prompt('freshmeat
search:',''));if(q)location.href='http://freshmeat.net/search/?q='+escape(q)
Freshmeat:
javascript:q=document.getSelection();for(i=0;i<frames.length;i++){q=frames[i].document.getSelection();if(q)break;}if(!q)void(q=prompt('AltaVista
search:',''));if(q)location.href='http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?q='+escape(q)+'&kl=XX&pg=q&Translate=on'
Merriam-Webster Thesaurus (yes, I do like to write interesting text!):
javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter word to find in
Merriam-Webster
Thesaurus:',''))}if(Qr)location.href='http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/thesaurus?'+escape(Qr)+'
'
Each of these will pop-up a box, ask you to enter a word or set of
words and perform a search for that word/phrase on the appropriate
site. If you have already highlighted some part of the text on the
page displayed by the browser, then the search will be performed using
the displayed word/phrase.
