When I think of creating a tutorial, I always think of ways to include as many people as possible. Today is no different, as the literally millions of OmniWeb users on Ma.gnolia will find this indispensable. Digg frontpage, here I come!

[Oh, for the love of taco sauce, you are out of your mind. If ten people read this, I'll be stunned. (Okay, ten people without omnigroup.com or gnolia.com IP addresses.) - Ed.]

Look, Mr. Editor person! I shall not have the victory that is my tutorialling be all smirched-on by your wet-blanketeration! I have come up with a brand-new, never-been-thought-of-before tutorial for the masses!

[You mean, like this one? - Ed.]

Oh...shut up. I swear, you just want the people to bow and worship you...stupid editors...

To simulate the search box functionality for searches, create a new rule in your Shortcut Preferences, and make it look like this:

Ma.gnolia Tags

Name: Ma.gnolia Tags Keyword: mt@ URL: http://ma.gnolia.com/tags/%@

But, what's that you ask? You want to add the ratings? Hey, it's ridiculously simple. Just create another entry, and add ?ratings=5, and it'll add the Parameter in there, but it's really not important.

Ma.gnolia Tags Rating 5

Name: Ma.gnolia Tags 5 Keyword: mt5@ URL: http://ma.gnolia.com/tags/%@?rating=5

Notice I changed the Keyword. You can create anything from ?rating=1 to ?rating=5. Here's how to do the same thing with Bookmark searches:

Ma.gnolia Search

Name: Ma.gnolia Search Keyword: mg@ URL: http://ma.gnolia.com/terms/%@

Same deal...

Ma.gnolia Search Rating 5

Name: Ma.gnolia Search 5 Keyword: mg5@ URL: http://ma.gnolia.com/terms/%@?rating=5

And now you can make with the quick-searching on Ma.gnolia in OmniWeb!
