KISE - Konqueror Intuitive Search Ext.
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
KISE is an adaption of search engines for Konqueror (all Google based), so that they don't use short cuts like "gg" but "search" or "image" or "movie". So that you can type search:acid2 in the alt-f2 dialog (or Konqui itself) and Konqui will come up with google searching for acid2.
HOWTO SETUP
========
in Konsole:
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
exit
HOWTO USE
=========
[SHORTCUT]:[SEARCH TERM]
e.g.
cinemas:las vegas -> all films in Las Vegas
book:j.r.r. tolkien -> all books from Tolkien
images:KDE -> KDE images
NOTE
====
This package provides new search engines for
Konqueror. Some are designed to replace their ori-
ginal versions, and some are totally new.
Since I release some time ago the 'musikugel',
which provides exactly such desktop files for
music search, I of course included them in this
package.
So what's the point behind? - I'm searching a lot
actually most stuff with Google, and I disliked to
enter the URL by hand or remember a totally
strange shortcut (e.g. gg).
Why not enter 'search:'? It's even more intuitive
and also a lot more rememberable. So you talk to
Konqueror in some way, you say 'movie:red dragon'
and Konqueror will lead you to the Google movie-
search showing up "Red Dragon (2002)".

(I haven't tried the app yet, because I don't see the point, so I might be missing something :)

>Why not just change the keywords for the existing searches, or add new ones there?
seems like this is what I've done ;-)
maybe I should clarify this in the description?

but well, you can release it yourself:
* grab the script at http://dev.bit-freaks.net/apachelogger/playground/kise-script.tar.gz

So I'll work out a concept and then submit a wish.
And thanks for the compliments :-)
