I actually use keyword search, find it faster. Go to www.google.com/ncr(which takes you to google.com but doesn't redirect to sg domain). In the search field, right click and click on "Add a keyword for this search", make sure you give a name and a keyword (my keyword is simply "g").
Then, search is as simple as Ctrl+L (go to address bar) and type "g search terms". Of course I use similar keyword searches for most of my needs (wikipedia, IMDB, amazon blah blah). Hate using the mouse to change the search bar's search engine all the time. hth Cheers On 8/15/07, Stephan M.
