Aww, What a Cute Little Searchling |
|
 Searchling...at first glance, it doesn't seem that useful - but man is it ever a timesaver! It lets you search your favorite sites from your menubar, without having to go to that site first.
Searchling installs as easy as any Mac OS X application - just toss it in your Applications folder and it's ready to go. When you launch Searchling, an icon appears in your toolbar:
Clicking on the magnifying glass icon tells Searchling to bring up a search window like below.
In this instance, we're doing a search for OS X apps on VersionTracker, but you can select from many different sites, like eBay or Dictionary.com. You can even add your own search sites, or edit the built-in ones if you like (basically you just edit a plist file in your home directory - you should probably be a little geeky, or at least know a geek if you want to attempt this). For example, I set mine to search PHP.net's function list. Very handy for code monkeys ;)
You can also access some other features of Searchling by going into the preferences (control-click the Searchling icon in the menubar). In here you can set or change the hot key used to bring up a search, as well as change the search window opacity.
All in all, a very cool freakin' app! For more info on Searchling, check out the developer's site, or you can download it from VersionTracker here.

Deep Thoughts |

If you're ever stuck in some deep undergrowth, in your underwear, don't stop and start thinking of what other words have "under" in them, because that's probably the first sign of jungle madness.
