The same day I posted about my search shortcut, Lockergnome talked about the IEHelpers plug-in :: WSIE which does the same thing from what I can tell (although it does more than search this blog!)

By saving and running the linked reg file you can search this blog by typing abso keyword into the address bar of your pc and the keyword(s) will be plugged into the search engine. I thought of doing this after needing to search to see if I’d blogged about Outclass before – it turns out I had.

I tried to setup Feedster to search for references to my blog, but not return my postings. That way I can find out who is quoting/referencing/gossiping about me. I was having trouble getting the tools option to work so I asked Pieter in the ggsearch forums and he pointed me to Feedster Search: ggsearch NOT weblog_title=GGSearch which works. However, if I swap GGSearch for Absoblogginlutely I appear in position 1 Update which is not what I wanted/need. It should have displayed without my results! So sorry Scott – maybe you shouldn’t blog this 🙂 Still yet again, this is the power of blogging getting first rate support with developers keeping an eye on blog feeds 🙂

Ever been webpage surfing and came across a 404 error or “page is no longer here” type error message? Well with the bookmarklets at Google Cache Hacking it is possible to add a link to your links bar that will retrieve the page from googles cache. Works great as one of the links on that page returns a 404! which is fixed by going to Google cache
