Tom,
A noble goal, and while any energy savings inst a bad thing, the wild claims
about black vs white backgrounds have been pretty throughly debunked. A good
thread for this (better than this mailing list) is at
http://ecoiron.blogspot.com/2007/01/black-google-would-save-3000-megawatts.html
Basically
what it boils down to is the average person sees a less than 2 watt
difference in measured energy consuption.
That said, its easy enough to add your own search to DQSD, one of its main
strengths.
Perhaps a better goal would be a command in the DQSD to enter power saving
directly assuming it doesnt already exist and I have just missed it.

Seemingly we can reduce our electricity consumption by simply switching to
Google's own - "Blackle" instead of Google:
When your screen page is white, be it an empty word page, or the Google
page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when it's black it consumes
only 59 watts.

It looks like this is just a skin on google, is there any way we can
update the gg search to have an option to use this instead without loosing
all the options available in that search.
..maybe passing this option to defaultsearch blackle could be default?
Maybe it could be built into v4 as an overrideable default in the
installation so that people start using it.
Cheers,
Tom.
