Comments on: Yahoo plug-in gives brains to browser search

Inquisitor suggests results for Web browsers' search box and presents them with a splashy interface. It was just for Safari, but it now works on Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Been using it for a week now and it is very nice and quick. Many times I've only needed two characters and it snags the subject correctly. Works much like Spotlight in OS X.

just one more bit of proof of the spying-on & recording of eveything we do on OUR computers, with or WITHOUT our permission or knowledge.

like the idea but I had to uninstall - if you are like me in FF when you highlight a word, right click and choose search in Google, it's replaced by inquisitor and there was no way to disable it, i still like to search with Google.

It's a great plug-in. It saves you time for the step of going to the search engine result page. Check it out! Really worth it.
