I have simply created a bookmark for QuickSearch function with Mozilla Firefox based on the search box made by Radu referred here:
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/searchbox.php

Actually it's just a bookmark with the following content:
<DT><H3>Astrology</H3>
<DD>Astrology related
<DL><p>
<DT><A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&num=40&sitesearch=astrologyweekly.com" SHORTCUTURL="aw">Astrology Weekly Quicksearch</A>
<DD>Type &quot;aw <search terms>&quot; in the location to look up something in Astrology Weekly.
</DL><p>
It is fairly easy to start with:
1. Save this file (http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=47&stc=1&d=1150349262) to your harddisk.
(Note: It is actually a text file with content quoted above.)

2. Import this file with Bookmarks Manager in Firefox (Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks... > File > Import...)

3. Go and test and type in the location bar, like this:
aw grand trine
Then you will see hundreds of search results for "grand trine" from Astrology Weekly.

Make a try!

Hi Three-leg-cat

This actually works! Amazing, I didn't know about this feature of Firefox. Really cool!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for using. And thanks to the sharing culture contributed by the planets...

Astrologically, I'm thinking of the mutual reception of transiting Neptune and Uranus in Aquarius and Pisces since March 2003 contribute much to the rise of blending culture of "free software"("free as in speech") and "gift culture"("free as in beer") starting from 2003. Firefox browser (previously Firebird) became well known from 2003. Other free software too -- OpenOffice.org released its 1.1 version in 2003; Fedora Core Linux starts distributing using the previous code of RedHat Linux since its first release in late 2003(and its test versions earlier in the same year)...

Remember when Uranus entered Aquarius in April 1995 before Pisces? Micro$oft Internet Explorer started its dominations with it's bundling with the brand new Window$ 95. Bill Gate$' book "The Road Ahead" shown his ambitions to technology development which were really inventive, cold and distant, with the ideas like "sex game with 3D spectacles and electronic sensors and stimulators attaching the body", or somewhat more conventional -- "a refrigerator with touch screen, connecting to the internet"...On the other hand, Inte$'s Andrew Grove's book "Only the Paranoid Survive" was published in 1996 hereafter. Remember his predictions of 10-fold growth in hardware speed? "Wintel" became a symbol which signifies hardware and software upgrade(new).

It has been years counting from 2003. Neptune in Aquarius shows it empathy toward the society of humanity with the sharing culture of software. While Uranus in Pisces shows its freedom expressions in a softer tone, people are more willing to share their ideas to help the others in the forums, breaking the boundary between the software developers and the software end-users...

It's just the one side of the story in the computational technology realm. Just these brief points come to my mind recently again and I just share here.

Any comments to these observations?
