It's been a while since I've been 'round these parts of the Body Electronic. A question for those who know how a Google search is integrated into every Safari window: how would one make the same sort of box that directs the query to the Wikipedia instead?

How about iSeek?

if one were to use OmniWeb 5, one could add such a search simply by visiting the page and clicking a single button (it works for pretty much any search page).

You can easely achieve this with Camino 0.8 see the documentation at : http://www.mozilla.org/products/cami...omization.html

Take a look at http://safarikeywords.sourceforge.net/
Its probably the closest you'll get to using custom search engines in replace of google.

This doesn't answer your specific question, but it's trivial to put in just about any search service in Firefox. Right now I have Google, Google Images, Amazon.com, The Free Dictionary, and Wikipedia all available right from the search box.

Edit: Wow, I didn't realize it at the time but I completely forgot to specify that I was talking about Firefox.

SafariKeywords is excellent, and actually more useful than what I had in mind. I'd thought that there was a text file somewhere on my computer that told Safari what URL to create and follow whenever a query was typed into that box. I guess it's more complex than that.

iSeek looks cool too, but it's one of those wonderful little pieces of software which could have served the creator better by having lots of name-recognition instead of cashflow.

Thanks, sandsl and wataru.

I use QuickSilver - which allows you to search almost any site where the search function is encoded into the url.

It also allows searching from any app.

Eh, I know what you mean, but I think Ambrosia's name-recognition among Mac users couldn't get that much better. They're the ones behind the industry-standard screen capture program Snapz Pro, as well as several of the more popular Mac games over the years such as the Escape Velocity series and Maelstrom.
