wanna make your searches easier?
okay, first -- get Mozilla. go on, i'll wait.
then, get some bookmarks for the sites you wanna be able to search through without having to actually load up their front, often times, heavy, pages.
then, this is what you do.
click on "manage bookmarks" and open up any bookmark properties.
type in:
name: dictionary.com
location: http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=%s
keyword: dc (but it can be anything you want)
then, when you want to look up, say, the definition of "word" -- type in "dc word" in the location bar and voilà -- your search is done.
other sites that i did this with:
name: all music guide
location: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&opt1=1&sql=%s
keyword: amg
name: thesaurus.com
location: http://www.thesaurus.com/cgi-bin/search?config=roget&words=%s
keyword: ts
