I discovered visearch.com today, which is a search engine with a vi feel to it. If you don't know what vi is, then its probably a waste of time reading further... The default color scheme is a horible green on black (never liked those monochrome monitors), but at least you can change it with :set bg=white. Its a shame you are limited with two options instead of picking you own bg & fg colors. The other quirk is the fact you can't do colons in your search as it goes to vi command mode. To get around it you need to copy/paste the colon, which makes searches like define: a bit of a pain. Another bit I miss is regex searches and replace to clear up the results. You also only get one page of results, limited to 30 and with firefox I have to use the mouse to click on the browser first for the keys to work. dd also have a bug, especially if you combine the mouse and click elsewhere before the second "d". Regardless of these issues, its definately something to keep an eye on ;)
