AcidSearch is a search enhancement for Safari.

AcidSearchOverview

AcidSearch is a search enhancement for Safari. It adds unlimited "Search Channels" to the Google search field. Channels can be customized in a nearly infinite variety of ways. AcidSearch also includes powerful features such as JavaScript support, the ability to import iSeek and Butler Search Sites, true hierarchical menu organization, and the ability to search multiple search engines at the same time. AcidSearch also allows you to access your search channels with key equivalents, Shortcuts (a la SafariKeywords), and a contextual menu. It patches Safari using Mike Solomon's great SIMBL InputManager. AcidSearch is free software, and will always be free. If you like AcidSearch a lot, and wish to reward me for my development efforts, you are welcome to donate. AcidSearch is available in English, Japanese, Italian, French, and traditional Chinese.

New Features in AcidSearch 0.6

* SnapBack fixed (for most channels)
* New Search Channel Repository, where you can share channels with others
* Set the encoding for individual search channels
* Change the color of Find As You Type's selection
Using AcidSearch
Help Image

When you launch Safari after installing AcidSearch, you won't notice any new features immediately. AcidSearch was designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. However, if you click on the magnifying glass icon in the search bar, you will see several new options. Select a search channel from the list, and from that point on, the search bar will search the site you have selected. You can also change channels (while the search field is selected) by pressing the down arrow to pop open the menu. Then press the arrow keys until the channel you would like to search is highlighted and press return to select it.

The Google channels have a special feature. Add an exclamation point to the end of your search term to do an "I'm Feeling Lucky" search. The exclamation point will not be included in the search.
