DDG Site Search in Launchbar

This is kind of a "duh" tip but still one I use every day. I have several DuckDuckGo site specific searches in Launchbar. For this site, I just used the html parameters that show my own custom search results.

http://duckduckgo.com/?q=*&sites=www.macdrifter.com&sort=date&kj=%23C0724F&k3=macdrifter&kx=%23C0724F&ky=t&kaa=%23919191&ka=a&kt=h&kk=s&ko=1&k9=%23A90101&kg=g

But really the basic site search prototype in LaunchBar looks like this, where the asterisk indicates where LaunchBar will insert the search terms:

http://duckduckgo.com/?q=*&sites=www.macdrifter.com

Once it is saved and indexed:

• cmd-opt to bring up LaunchBar
• Type "macd" and return
• Type the terms to search for and return
• Get a new safari window with the results
• Piss away the few seconds I saved on something else

To setup a new search, visit the LaunchBar Index. The click on the Search Templates (UTF-8) and click "Add..." at the bottom of the window. Create the new search and save and update the index.

Update

One last one for Brett Terpstra. His search redirects so I just went with the redirected URL format.
