There's a sweet little desktop app for OSX called Huevos.

It's tiny and free, and it's a search helper. You pick a search site, type in your search, and your browser of choice fires up and searches. I recommend it!

You can drop in your own searches, so I took out the ones I didn't need and put in somei new ones. In case anyone is interested, my new ones were:

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s?index=blended&field-keywords=%@

Blinkx: http://www.blinkx.com/videos/%@

Google Video: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=%@&sitesearch=

IMDB: http://imdb.com/find?s=all&q=%@&x=0&y=0

Powells: http://www.powells.com/s?kw=%@&x=0&y=0

That looks cool. I also like saying "Waffle Software" over and over.

Does this do something more/different than Firefox's built-in Quick Searches? I have a few set up so that I can cmd-tab to Firefox, cmd-l to the URL bar, then type stuff like "g searchterms" for Google, "i searchterms" for Google images, "ama searchterms" for Amazon, "dict searchterm" for dictionary.com, "thes searchterm" for thesaurus.com, etc.

I like it because it will also start Firefox - or your default browser - on its own. Also it's way more easy to add your own searches because you don't have to create an XML document with all kinds of wiggly bits and make your own Mycroft plugin.

Or eggs, I guess. The software company is called Ranchero, so.
