It's a great extension btw, and i use it all the time. Requests: (a) can we put keywords anywhere in the string? Eg: sometimes i'm typing something into the bar and i forget to start with "g" for google, so i just get lots of history results. It's be nice to just add "g" at that point and turn it into a search. Right now i have to go back to the beginning of the string and add it. (ps/ i have the show only results when a keyword is recognised option ticked. ) (b) (and this is maybe impossible, but..) Would it be possible to do something like insert the search string url into the history of the opened links? eg: sometimes I search for something and the link looks good, but when i open it it's rubbish. then i have to type the whole string again, and i kinda wish i'd just opened the google results page. If i could just click "back" and go back to that results page it'd be great. (alternatively, being able to press a hotkey to repeat the last search would be ok. ) (c) (probably tricky). is there a chance of implementing yahoo searches too? they have a good api right? Recently their search engine seems to have improved a lot. Bugs: When scrolling through a list of results, sometimes the list goes screwy and jumps to one of the results.. so you can't scroll past it. it seems to be mostly pdfs.
