I don’t use these quick searches because I don’t remember the actual search strings and need a bookmark of them somewhere. I know exactly how to do that webmasterworld search above for example without needing to reference anything. The point of the quick search bookmarks is to be able to save time when doing day to day tasks. It shaves ten seconds off of searches that I do 300 times a week and all added together, saves me a bunch of time. Bookmarking them at delicious doesn’t do much of anything other than have another “middleman” between me and my search results – much like the Yahoo or Google main page. I guess it might be useful if someone didn’t know the searches in the first place… but that definitely isn’t what this was for.

That said, next conference, I’ll simply download and import these bookmarks to the conference computer to save myself some agony ;-)

One other route: Diigo’s toolbar has a Search button with a dropdown list you can customise. It is meant so you can add any search engine you want, but you could also add specific searches such as you use. You could only access it from a browser with the toolbar installed, but you could also save the links in Diigo, for access from any computer. I’m a diehard Diigo user, so I prefer this idea – however, your thoughts have given me ideas for increasing the usefulness of the Search button on my toolbar, so thanks!
