Launching several searches won’t be too hard… But I am not good enough with JS to deal with POST requests, sorry. :) Maybe when I get time to read up on JS at last.

Ops, thanks! Copy/pasted it from Opera, but it is hard to post code in WordPress – everything is sanitized to near-death for security. :)

and one more thing :there should be a + after site:’ in the second tweak.

Yeah now its working for me. The problem was that I had “Reuse current tab” disabled. So the search opened in a new tab where the javascript didn’t do its job. After enabling it,everything runs fine.

Yep, there should be space after %s

By the way I made one more tweak to use domain instead of whole URL, more convenient this way.

javascript:window.location.href='http://www.google.com/search?q=%s site:' +document.location.hostname;

I was unable to get your site search to work.
The one line should be this
“javascript:window.location.href=’http://www.google.com/search?q=%ssite:’+document.location;” or with a space between %s and site or something else?
This is the only search that seems non-overkill for my uses. :)
