How do I create search buttons in my Web browser?
You can set up convenient one-click search buttons in your Web browser to search most search engine sites. All it takes is a bit of javascript. Here are a few scripts that you may find useful.
You can use them in two ways:
- Hilight a word(s) on a web page in your browser and then click the button
- Click the button and enter in your search term(s)
The best way to set this up is to create a toolbar shortcut in your browser, so you can click it like a button. For most browsers, you should be able to simply drag the links provided below into your toolbar to create the button/bookmark. If you can't, Create a dummy button/bookmark and then copy and paste the URLs of the provided links into the dummy bookmark's URL/address field.
Search VersionTracker (set to search within OS X)
Search Dictionary.reference.com
If you have some basic knowledge of javascript, you can easily modify these scripts for use in almost any search engine.
