Like this:

Shortcut: lucky@

Destination URL: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...+Feeling+Lucky

With this, I enter "lucky banana" and google returns the "feeling lucky?" search for banana.

SP78 is still showing problems that weren't present for quite a while through SP75:

1) The jump to the last post on these forums when clicking the last posters name is not working, at least most of the time.

2) If I visit a page that has an embedded menu then go to another page and then hit the back button to go to the first page, the embedded menu becomes "dead". The menu still displays when clicked but the selections don't activate the loading of whatever page they reference. A reload of that page is then needed to make the embedded menu work again.

Is this the case for others???

Be warned, this is not the one true OmniWeb sneakypeek thread! This thread is an evolutionary dead end. Become not like the cro magnon!

Get thee back onto the straight and narrow! Join us, and be not led off into the wilderness.

We're currently at 28 pages of comments. Perhaps we'll make 28 more pages (with your eagerly-awaited contributions).

The 'one true thread' is not the original thread anyway! I'm not quite sure why you are all so stubborn.

I couldn't find the old topic(s). I thought there are 3 now, or were there more?

maybe we should create a whole new macnn :omniweb forum section

More dissembling by the infidels!

There was, is, and shall always be ONLY the one true thread!

Seriously, though. We're just having a bit of fun with the length of the thread. We don't really think that the end of the world will happen should we lose faith in the one true thread. But why take a chance? :-)

Soon we'll abandon it when the next true thread comes to us, the "OmniWeb 5.0 sneakypeeks" thread. It is coming! It is coming!
