Adding Serph to your Inquisitor Menu

One of the coolest things about Firefox is the ability to search any web site directly from the top of the browser. Us Safari users aren’t that lucky. The solution for us is something called Inquisitor from David Watanabe. It’s actually a lot cooler than Firefox’s tool because it actually returns live results from Google (and a bunch of others) right in the menu without ever leaving the page you’re on.

Inquisitor allows you to add links to additional search engines in the results menu. Below is how to add Serph to your menu.

1. Install Inquisitor if you haven’t already
2. Open the Inquisitor preference pane by going to Safari > Preferences, and clicking on the “Search” tab
3. Make sure “Display links to additional search engines” is checked and click on the “Edit Sites” button
4. Click on the + icon under the list and choose “New custom search shortcut…”
5. Enter “Serph” (or whatever you want to call us) as the site name
6. Enter this exact URL under the URL column:
   http://search.serph.com/do/browser/?query=%@
   Your screen should look something like this:
   
7. Click done and enjoy.
