Nice work. It appears this has been included in FF3. Great feature.

This is a great little extension for all us keyboard-before-mouse people. I noticed that Opera has similar functionality, and went looking for a Firefox extension — voila!

Since people in these comments seem to be asking, you set the key words by selecting the searchbar dropdown, and then “manage search engines” at the bottom.

Ryan — nice work! Some small suggestions for future versions: when you open that search dropdown, it would be awesome to see the shortcuts next to the search engines there. Just in case you’re forgetful and don’t remember what the settings were A fancier feature would be if you mouse over the regular URL entry spot (I seem to be terminologically challenged today), show current searchword shortcuts as mouseover text.

Hey, I’ve installed SearchWords, but I was wondering how to configure the options (like in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/previews/4328)

Please tell me how to get to the configuration. Btw, I’m using FF 2.0.0.6

Hi, Great work!
Wanted to know if you are thinking of adding the option to do the same in the search bar and not in the address bar?

Thanks again,
Asaf.

Hi Ryan I’m using your extension and I like it very much.
Is there a possibility to ad in the future versions of searchwords a folder grouping option for searches like in “Organize Search Engines” extension and assigning a keywords for those folders to search in many searches simultaneously?
I think it would be a nice and useful future.

Re Context Search: ah yes, that’s it. Thanks.

Re SearchWords: there seems to be a difficulty with using ‘w’ as the search word. I’ve re-added wikipedia using that key several times and either the whole wikipedia search plugin disappears after a day or so, or it reverts back to a previous key.

Getting queries to show up in history might be a bit difficult in Firefox 2, but I’ll look into it. Context Search sounds like what you’re looking for in your second suggestion.
