Thirded. Having it be configurable would make my n900 life amazing. I saw this app and immediately thought "imdb.com?" heck, it'd be even cooler if we could incorporate one for maemo talk, to easily search the forums for questions!

In Maemo 4, there was a Desktop Search Applet included by default. Here is how it worked to add more search engines: you just have to add your own .xml in a certain folder (/usr/share/mis) and add a icon to (\usr\share\icons\hicolor\scalable)
Code:
<search name="ebay"
	icon="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/mis_ebay.png"
	action="http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll"
	user-input="query">
	<input name="MfcISAPICommand" value="GetResult"/>
	<input name="ht" value="1"/>
	<input name="ebaytag1" value="ebayreg"/>
	<input name="srchdesc" value="n"/>
</search>
I suggest you add something very similar (however, please use a folder in /opt :-)
And for the Google Maps search: Could you include my maeMaps version instead of the default Google Maps site? Is much handier on the N900 :-) Here you have an example link/query

Hi,

Both IMDB & maemo.org searches will be added for the next release.

User-added searches might be the next release after that (probably sometime in January after Finals).

Sure, I can change to MaeMaps -- for next release.

Not to be naggy at all, but another one would be wikipedia. I'm sure you've already thought of that, but I figured I would mention it just in case .

This will definitely be an app I will be testing when I get my n900. Very nice job!

How do you select the search engine? Like switch to look for in Amazon, Ebay, Dictionary, etc? I only see Google as a choice.

"Ghosted" refers to the grayscale look if the website logos -- in the next version you will be able to select "Color", too. The black-box look will hopefully be changed to a semi-transparent rounded-corner look in either the next version, or the one after that.
