Exalead's Smart Bookmarks = Your Own Private Search Engines

Here's another nifty feature of search engine Exalead, which I mentioned last week: Smart Bookmarks. You can essentially create links to any site that has a search feature. Here's how to do it:

-- Go to a site you want to search -- I chose Amazon.
-- Do a search for something -- anything -- and note the URL of the results. Copy the URL.
-- On the Exalead home page, you'll see four place markers for "shortcuts." Click on any one of them.
-- In the Title field, type whatever you want (I typed "Amazon"). In the URL field, paste the results URL you copied from the Amazon site.
-- Somewhere in the URL are the search terms you entered. Replace them with $Q, and click Enter.
-- Now whenever you want to search that site, just type your search terms into the main Exalead search box, and click that particular shortcut. Voila!

If you didn't understand my directions, Exalead also explains it here.
