Hi,

Could someone help me with the internet settings in
TweakUi which allow you to use a search engine by simply
typing it into the address and then the search string
e.g "google warez". I think the example they give is
for "msdn"

I'm not quite sure of how I set things up...if someone
could just give an example I'd be most grateful...thanks!

Here is the URL I have for my google search.

http://www.google.com/search?q=%s

Basically, the %s part gets replaced by whatever you type in the address
bar, so the trick is to find out how the search engines search. I just went
to google, searched for something and then on the results page, I noticed
that the URL contained the search term, so I just took everything before
that and replaced where the search term appeared with %s

I think you'll find most search engines work like this, so repeating the
procedure for others shouldn't be too hard.

Hope that helps.
