Quicksilver + Firefox Quick Search

[An irrelevant introduction: What a hot day. I've been taking more than my fair share of showers. Three on Sunday, and I'm thinking of taking another one in about five minutes just to cool down. A friend who lived in Sudan told me that she soaked in a bathtub of water every afternoon just to cool down. Temperatures reach the forties over there. Crazy.]

In other news, Quicksilver + Firefox quicksearch bookmarks = magic on your fingertips. In the preferences pane (Cmd + ; ), tick "Web search module" under "All plugins".



Restart Quicksilver. Type in the name of your Quick Search web page in the first tab. In the second tab, choose "Search for", and in the third, type in what you're looking for.



There you have it.

To scale photos with quicksilver, install the "Image Manipulation Actions" plugin. For the dictionary, install the "dictionary module" (duh).
