    Diigo search menu customisation is:

    * not limited to Diigo toolbar
    * not limited to Firefox, Flock or Internet Explorer.

    Using Safari to search My Bookmarks can be as simple as A-B-C:

    a. command-L (shortcut to search field)

    b. type a word or two or more

    c. keyboard shortcut to search.

    The two examples above are experiments, nothing more, based on the Diigo default for Diigo & Google.

    1. UK google.co.uk is better for me, I wonder how to vary the US examples above.

    2. A few of the products that allow you to customise search behaviour in your browser:

    Inquisitor
    http://www.inquisitorx.com/

    Saft

    Glims
