Bookmarklet ’em, Dano.
A friendly soul on the NewtonTalk mailing list wondered, in an extemporaneous sort of way, “…if someone proficient in JavaScript couldn’t possibly write a bookmarklet to search the site being viewed?” I got to thinking about this, and then after coming up bupkis for an existing bookmarklet to do a similar job, I whacked one together myself. This bookmarklet will search the current site being viewed in your browser window using Google. Please note that this bookmarklet doesn’t handle URLs that have multiple subdomains yet, as in designteam.studio.adobe.com, but you’ll get the idea. Want to give it a whirl? Drag the following link to your favorites bar or click, hold, and choose “Add link to Favorites” using the pop-up menu. Windows users can do that old “right-click” thang.
More information on these handy JavaScript-based browsing tools can be found on the Bookmarklets site.
