Search a website

[Adam Forbes]

I'd like to search a specific website with a quick type of quick silver. So it automatically appends what i type into the url and searches it.

For example if I wanted to search VUDU for movies i would have this URL
https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/search?minVisible=0&returnUrl=%252F&searchString=tacos

Is there a way to have quicksilver automacially pull up that search in a new tab when i type in tacos?

Yes. This is documented in the manual (but not in much detail).

In your case, I think you would just need to create a new web search list and add an item with Vudu as the title and

https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/search?minVisible=0&returnUrl=%252F&searchString=***

as the URL.

Once that’s there, you should be able to search for Vudu in Quicksilver and the Search For… action should be the default.

I knew I wrote more about this. It's described in great detail at:
https://qsapp.com/manual/Web/#web-searches

(This is a place were adding some screen shots would probably help)
