Basic Help

Hi,

I have recently switched to OSX from Windows. Quicksilver is one of
the apps that I always read about when I had Windows that made me wish
I was on OSX. As a substitute i used Launchy.

However, Quicksilver seems to have a far steeper learning curve. The
thing I loved about Launchy was the ability to quickly search the
internet using the Weby plugin. It allowed me to do the following:

Press Alt + Spacebar to invoke Launchy, specify the site to search,
press tab, specify the search query. I also had popular sites assigned
to just their initial letter to speed things up.

For example, to search the word "test" in Google, I would do the
following:

Alt+Space (to invoke Launchy), "g" TAB "test" ENTER.

I could perform this anywhere in windows and it would open a tab
showing the results in Firefox.

I could also search sites like Wikipedia and YouTube by substituting
the "g" for a "w" or "y".


How can I replicate this in Quicksilver, because I am really missing
it!

Thanks

I think you'll want to look at this, particularly the Web Search section,
