The idea here is a page that allows you to search any website you choose, in the easiest manner possible. To me, that means having auto-complete available as I type my search, choosing whether or not I want the results in a new tab, and not having to load the landing page of the site before doing my search.

I've been using this as my startpage for about a week, and it's added a layer of convenience to anytime I'm in "research mode" about a topic. I can flip through Google, Twitter, Youtube, etc, and get a good all around feel for the prevalence of a topic, in a matter of seconds.

The filter function on the left searches through your list of search providers, but also instantly searches through Dashler's database of sites. You can specify part of a name, or a tag like "books" or "shopping" or "blog". (If you have a site you think should be there, please let me. I can add it right away.) In the "tools" section, you can add/edit/delete the search provider selected.

You can also add your own search provider. All you need is a URL with a "%q%" in it, which will be replaced by what you type in the search box.

Try it out, and let me know what you think.
