Hi All (popey this might interest you)<br>
<br>
If you haven't ditched the bloat'y crashing browser that is Firefox for<br>
the lightening speed of Midori then here is yet another reason why you<br>
should at least have a look.</blockquote><div><br>Midori is simply yet another webkit based browser, hence the speed actually comes from good old KHTML if you trace it back.<br>While Firefox maybe 'clunky' at the best it happens to be the most flexible and extensible browser out there, this is very important for a large number or users especially developers. Since using adblockplus I now refuse to use the internet without it, all these irritating sales adverts everywhere.<br>

Midori has a feature called Search Engine Management basically you add<br>
your favourite search engines these can be all the usual ones like<br>
Google, Yahoo or Bling ;-) but here's the nice touch you can add any<br>
site or wiki that has a search capability so for example you can add<br>
Ubuntu or whatever you use, "What you blathering on about Pete" I here<br>
you ask, well here's the point.<br>
<br>
I added the Arch Linux Wiki as a search engine. you do this by putting<br>
in the URL and a Token the token is easy you can call it anything you<br>
like as I was using the arch wiki it seemed obvious to use aw. I then<br>
set the URL with the relevant search string:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ns0=1&search=" target="_blank">http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ns0=1&search=</a><br>
<br>
Say I wanted to find out how to install Nvidia rather than typing<br>
www.arch blah blah blah all I type in the address bar is: aw nvidia and<br>
hey presto it takes me to the Arch wiki and the relevant page, how cool<br>
is that?<br>
<br>
I currently have<br>
<br>
g = Google<br>
wp = Wikipedia<br>
fd = The Free Dictionary<br>
aw = Arch Linux Wiki</blockquote><div><br>This is hardly a new feature and not exactly the most usable implementation, rather than remember the mappings, in Firefox you simply click the little dropdown arrow and you get a list.<br>
