The Firefox browser.

 

Although its not perfect, I really like the Google toolbar.

Quite - all things considered, my favorite (and now only) add-on toolbar.
Now I have instant access to Google's search, and was able to choose a
different home page. (For the longest time, Google *had* to be my home
page!)

I have access to 38 *fully customisable* search engines,
directly from SlimBrowser's quicksearch bar, not to mention
direct RSS reading from the browser, and the many, many
other tools and features, including filtering.

Yep - Tina right, Google's good. Guys and Gals, Mr. Eagle Creek just wants a
popup blocker!

Make it three in a row..
To me, Mozilla's the way to go.

 

What do you mean by "fully customisable" exactly?

 

If there is a search engine out there you can add it to
your QuickSearch bar, by means of definition files.
You can use the QuickSearch toolbar or for those that
prefer the Explorer-type sidebar, you can use that too.
Really simple; really quick; really neat.

 

Ah, so it's like Firefox when you right-click a search page's
input field and select "Add a keyword for this search".

 

I don't have that in my Firefox.
I don't believe it's like that, though. It's similar to Firefox's
Google search bar, but with a drop-down of all the search
engines you have created, and you can set whatever you
like as default, and change at will.

 

You should have that in Firefox -- it's one of the main features.
Are you using an older release? It's definitely there from v1.0.

It's actually easier than using Firefox's Google search bar.
What you do is: When you're at a search site, say IMDB.com, you
right-click the search field and select "Add a keyword for this
search". Then, you are prompted (once-off) for a keyword for
that site. In this case, one might enter "imdb". Then, whenever
you want to search IMDB.com, you don't need to go there first,
you just go to the Address Bar and enter: "imdb whatever" to
search the site. You can do this with any site that offers a
search function, and it's a great feature of Firefox.

 

Yes, I see it now, thanks. Is there any way to further edit/manipulate
the saved keyword search? For instance, I have (in SlimBrowser)
a bar set up that when a MSKB article number is inserted, displays
the KB article in the format: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=$key
where "$key" is the article number inserted. Doing this from the
search function at http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 ,
in Firefox, just brings up a search results page; not what I'm looking
for, or used to.

 

Hmm, it worked just fine for me with Firefox... here's what I did:

(1) Went to http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1
(2) In the "For" field, I right-clicked and selected "Add a keyword..."
(3) Firefox's "Add Bookmark" dialog came up, so I entered "Microsoft KB"
for the Name and "kb" for the keyword.
(4) I then closed Firefox (just to make sure) and restarted it. My home
page was displayed, so I hit CTRL+L to go the Address Bar and then
entered "kb firewire" (to search the MS KB for firewire issues).
(5) I got 20 results displayed, starting with a topic entitled
"OL2001: You Cannot Mount External FireWire Drives While You Run
Outlook".

No problem... what happens if you follow these steps?

 

Oops, I misunderstood the above (I read too fast). To do what you
want, follow the steps in my last post, and then open the bookmark
that Firefox has created and change the "Location" to the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=%s

Then, to go to a specific KB article number, just hit CTRL+L and
enter "kb #" where # is the article number.
