Interesting concept -- It seems like it might work better as a browser plug-in though.

#18Cool, I'll use it for today and come back with feedback. I suggest adding DuckDuckGo, though.
Great! I appreciate it. DDG is available... type "duck" in the filter box. You can add it to your list of providers by clicking "add" in the tools menu.
It would also be good if adding a new engine were easier. The language is a bit confusing. I think there should be an explicit "add another search provider to this list".
Keep it up! I'll be checking back!
