Make A Furl Search Bookmarklet

I am a big fan of Furl for organizaing and searching among my own collection of furl-ed sites. But you have to load a furl URL to begin a search. And when I escape town to my hideaway, I am tethered to the net my a 28.8 modem connection. I thought I could make it easier, quicker.

I created this bookmarklet tool to easily do a quick Furl search by either entering search words (entered in a pop up JavaScript box) or by using words highlighted in a current web page. This means, as I meander the web. I can highlight a word or two of text, click a bookmarklet link, and run a search on this terms against my furl collection.

So here it is, borrowing completely from the Google Browser Button and my own MovableType search-let.

Test It Out

Enter some keywords to test your search-- if the search works, use your browser back button to return here.
