oooo search shortcuts in Firefox/Opera

[cw42]

I'm normally a FF user, and I was playing around with Opera yesterday. I knew that if you put "g anandtech" in your address bar, Opera would do a search on google for anandtech. I had NO IDEA you could do this with FF, and i've been using it for a while now!

So for those that don't know... if you right click on a search box, and goto "Add keyword for this Search", you can customize your search anyway you want. I've added these so far...

i - imdb
w - wikipedia
p - pricegrabber
u - ubuntu forums

Enjoy. 🙂

Can't live without it. I don't use the search bar at all.
My essentials are:
g - google
gg - google, feeling lucky
gm - google maps
w - wikipedia
various ones for man pages
d - dictionary
ud - urban dictionary

man - http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?...=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html
man-k - http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=%s&sektion=0&apropos=1

Basically you could pick anyone's online man pages with a similar setup, openbsd just happens to be the one I use. And I wanted "man -k" for the apropos one, but you can't have spaces in the keywords 😛
