You might want to check your search shortcut still works 30min later. And the same thing is trivially done with konqueror too: Right-click on the search-engine selector icon (on the left, not the drop-down on the right) and select "Select search engines". Click "new". Enter a descriptive name, the search URL (replace the user search term with "\...@}"), enter a web shortcut, e.g. cpl, and click ok. You can then type cpl:sometitle into the URL field of the browser.
