Hello,
First of all, I'd like to say that I discovered Queriac today and I
really like it. Before, I was using yubnub, and I loved it too, but
queriac is better!

However, I don't know why bookmarklets don't work for me. I tried to
add this bookmarklet:

javascript:void(location.href='http://digg.com/submit?
phase=2%20&url='+location.href
+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title))

it's used to digg the page I am on. But everytime I type the keyword
in the location bar I get an error. I tried to past the bookmarklet in
the location bar and it worked.

Also, I copied a bookmarklet from another user (with the copy button
on the site), the one to post a page to delicious, and I changed the
keyword to icio. It didn't work. Everytime, all I get is a white page
with the bookmarklet url on it only...

Am I doing something wrong or it is a bug in the web site?

Hi AzizLight,

To use bookmarklets with Queriac, you'll have to install the 'Queriac
Bookmarklet Enabler' in your browser.. for the moment you'll need to
be using Firefox, Camino, or Safari+Keywurl for them to work. See the
section about using bookmarklets on this page: http://queri.ac/tutorial
.

We're hoping to build a Firefox extension at some point that will
allow for bookmarklets (and of course regular commands) to be run
directly from the location bar, without the need to install the
bookmarklet enabler and prepend a 'j' to bookmarklet queries.. it's on
our list..

Thanks for pointing this out.. it makes us more aware of the need to
clean up the documentation. Keep the feedback coming and enjoy using
Queriac!

Awesome! It worked! Now I don't like queriac anymore, I love it!
Thanks a lot for the help
And by the way, a firefox extension would be really cool.
