Web Searches
This is a list of web searches designed to be used with Quicksilver’s Web Search Module in lieu of http://docs.blacktree.com/quicksilver/web_search_list. To use it, you will need to modify ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Plugins/Web Search Module/Contents/Info.plist.
Unfortunately, this page doesn’t work. Github’s textile parser will not recognize a URL that contains “%s” or “*”. A similar, non-wiki websearch page can be found here
You need to replace the chunk of Info.plist that provides the settings for QSPresetDocWebSearches with the following:
<dict>
<key>ID</key>
<string>QSPresetDocWebSearches</string>
<key>enabled</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>name</key>
<string>Web Searches (from http://wiki.github.com/dsanson/dsanson.github.com/web-searches)</string>
<key>settings</key>
<dict>
<key>contentPrefix</key>
<string><h1>Start of Web Searches</h1></string>
<key>contentSuffix</key>
<string><h1>End of Web Searches</h1></string>
<key>path</key>
<string>http://wiki.github.com/dsanson/dsanson.github.com/web-searches</string>
</dict>
<key>source</key>
<string>QSWebSource</string>
</dict>You can make similar changes to the next dict entry for QSPresetDocWebFullListSearches if you want to add a second source of custom web searches.
Let’s not make this into an unmanageable link dump. The searches that are here should be broadly useful. If a link is here that doesn’t meet that criteria, perhaps it should be deleted.
Github’s Textile processor tends to muck things up. It won’t accept qss-http:// style links, so just use http:// style links. It also can’t handle the ‘*’ quicksilver uses as a placeholder for the search query. So use the Firefox style ‘%s’ instead.
It is also picky about what can go in a URL: trailing pound signs, for example, don’t get included. So replace them with their hex codes.
Google dominates search and web services in so many ways: lets give it its own section. The rest of the links are organized by topic.
Links should go in the most general appropriate category. For example, amazon should go under “books”, not “shopping”.
