With Firefox you can just right-click in any searchform and save it as a bookmark ('add keyword for this search'). Then you copy the url from the bookmark for the tablet (or use it in the Firefox addressbar like 'imdb somesearchterm'). I am thinking of making a Microb scriptlet or add-on to search selected text in search engines, like the Smartearch Firefox plugin.

Anyone use the Edit Internet searches app to create their own customized searches?

I should have called it isearch-edit.
Available here:
http://people.debian.org/~tschmidt/m.../isearch-edit/
Oh yeah, you'll need to add the tschimdt repository, which you can pick up here: http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.ph...stem=maemo4%0A

I'm thinking like how it is in Firefox where you can pick from a list and it adds them. I've been looking for this functionality ever since I got my N810!

One feature which is on my personal list of possible features is pretty much like what you are looking for, i have the idea of a feature where users can share their searches just from inside the app, just by doing a few clicks. And of course the same in the opposite direction, so that users can import shared searches directly in the program.

Thomas

Great work, is all I have to say. As I offered before, if I can be of assistance by creating logos/finding search URLs, please let me know where to store them to, to help create the database. I couldn't program my way out of a wet paper bag, but this is finally something in the Tablet community I can actually help in. 
EDIT: Also, I'd suggest adding iSearch-edit to the Maemo.org directory so others can find it! I searched but didn't come up with anything.

I am totally aware of this index, but i do not want to add it there until i fixed some bugs.

Yes, this is what i meant with "no official release yet". ;-)

Please be sure to update this thread when it's ready to rock and roll, this just added a whole new degree of functionality to my N810.

Sharing a few of mine, the others aren't "family oriented" so I'll be keeping those to myself.
