OmniWeb 4.1 has a more flexible shortcuts mechanism that will allow you
to enter URLs like:
google galeon
which will take you to google and search on "galeon".
The way it works is that if you enter a URL string with a space in it,
we take the portion up to the space and use that as the shortcut name
and the remainder as a value to be plugged into whatever shortcut we
find (assuming we find one - otherwise things work the same as they
always have).
Such shortcuts have to have a trailing "@" in the name, to distinguish
them from shortcuts that don't take parameters.
Example shortcut definitions:
Name Destination
google http://www.google.com/advanced_search
google@ http://www.google.com/search?q=%@
For the above shortcuts, you could enter "google" in the URL field to go
to google's advanced search page, or "google galeon" to perform a basic
search for "galeon".
(And no, I don't know when OmniWeb 4.1 will be released. :-)
