Favourite URLs

Make your own favourite webpage list

The Web Search plugin allows Quicksilver to search the web from its interface. Standard URLs (without ***) added to the plugin’s Web Search List are still cataloged and made available in the first pane. It’s easy to make a list of custom-named URLs.

Click the ‘+’ button in Preferences>Catalog>Custom and select ‘Web Search List’. Click the ‘i’ button at the bottom corner and, in ‘Source Options’, click the ‘+’ to add a URL with a name.


Creating a list of favourite webpages

Change the name of the new Web Search List to distinguish it from the others. This is a little flaky. Rescan the Catalog, close the window, relaunch QS and check if the new name stuck. Make a Trigger for [URL list]>Show Contents to browse the list.


Renaming a Web Search List



Trigger this

This is great for URLs that need to be regularly pasted into text. Make an internal trigger for ‘Paste with Clipboard’ and Roberta’s your auntie.
