More cool searches for Sogudi & Quicksilver
As I’ve said before, I’m a big fan of Sogudi, a free Safari add-on that lets you conduct keyword-based web searches right from your location bar. I thought I’d share a few more of the favorites that I’ve picked up (along with the shortcut I assigned and a short description of the resource).

I added a shortcut to use just a “+” (plus sign) as the term and the “experimnetal” del.icio.us bookmarklet as the query, so now i just type “+” in the address field to bookmark pages in delicious with the new almost-as-good-as-nutr.icio.us posting page. This is not actually a search, though…
