Ctrl-K 2. Search engine prefix, e.g. "wp" for Wikipedia English, "g" for Google, "imdb" for IMDB, etc. 3. Search phrase 4. Enter I've also been playing around with <a href="http://goosh.org/" rel="nofollow">goosh</a> for a bit and I'm reasonably impressed. It's fast! But I haven't weaned myself off YubNub yet.
