@freezr You can already do that (with one small caveat) using the text snippet feature added in Lagrange v1.17.

• Go to Preferences > Snippets.
• Add a new snippet that starts with an exclamation point character (aka a "bang"), for example "!f".
• The content should be:

http://frogfind.com/?q=

• Save the snippet and close Preferences.
• Now you can enter the bang shortcut in the URL bar:

!f hello world

The only problem is that the appended string will have a question mark at the beginning even though the snippet content already contains the "?q=" part. It seems to work but I'll need to clean that up in the future.

@skyjake so far I've found one browser that the extra '?' breaks. other than that the proxy x snippet combo is perfect for what i need

The extra ? issue has been fixed for the upcoming v1.18.

My Internet DSL connection is down and I have to use a surf-stick, with super-slow speed, until a service technican comes on Monday. Here you can see how Gemini shines. Fast page views, surfing etc. :-)
