OS 6 / Universal Search shortcut- how?

[julioangelortiz]

How do you create a search shortcut for OS 6 / Universal Search, a la the new CrackBerry search icon? I'd like to be able to have a shortcut to search Wikipedia from the Universal Search window and can't find one. Thanks in advance.

One easy way of doing this (but may defeat your purpose) is to follow these steps:

Open your Browser. In the Search/Address Bar, type any letter so you can see the available search providers...choose Wikipedia.


Close your Browser. Now the next time you do a "Universal Search, instead of Google Search, you'll see Wikipedia Search!


I know this probably isn't the kind of info you were looking to receive...instead you'd probably like to develope an app much like CrackBerry has to search the Blogs and Forums. But either way, maybe this will help, maybe not. Because honestly, unless you search Wikipedia MUCH more often than anything else (like Google, Yahoo, etc.) It'd be just as easy to search from the actual Search/Address Bar of your Browser (again, probably defeating your purpose!)
