Sogudi for searching via Safari's location bar
Merlin Mann | Sep 6 2004
Sogudi is a plug-in for Safari that lets you search your favorite sites from the location bar. This means that instead of having to visit a given site, you can just type a keyword into the location bar, pop in your search terms, and jump immediately to the results. Hint: If you’re going to be following along on our Quicksilver series, I recommend installing Sogudi and acquainting yourself with it; we’ll be using it a lot. Getting started

Got a cool one to share? Leave a comment. Nerdy Note: This type of functionality is not unique to Safari at all—it’s been available on Mac and non-Mac Mozilla browsers (among others) for a while now. By the same token a similar functionality is available in Quicksilver itself. Still, I do think it’s worth installing and using Sogudi especially since it integrates seamlessly with Quicksilver. Meaning, in a roundabout way, that Sogudi + Quicksilver + Non-Safari Browser + target app configuration tweak makes Sogudi operate flawlessly with any OSX browser. Make sense? One tool to rule them all. 6 Comments

 I've heard of Safari slowdowns...Submitted by brian w (not verified) on September 10, 2004 - 3:30pm.
I’ve heard of Safari slowdowns caused by Input Managers but so far it seems to be mostly anecdotal. In any event, I have relied on using a simple javascript bookmark to do the same thing for a long time now. It looks like this: (I hope that doesn’t get eaten) Just replace “Amazon.com” with whatever the site is, and use the same URL bits and pieces towards the end there between the single quote marks. You’ll get a quick popup that will execute whatever search you type in. » POSTED IN:
