I stumbled across this article on Lifehacker today. It demonstrates how to add a custom search on Vista’s Start menu. I customized one for going to Dan Appleman’s SearchDotNet site. Here is the text I used for the URL
http://www.searchdotnet.com/results.aspx?cx=002213837942349435108%3Ajki1okx03jq&q=%w&cof=FORID%3A9#1121
Notice, I put in the %w where my search text would go. Now I won’t use slick run for custom searching on this site.
