Enso Web Search Anywhere

on the product: Launcher

Why even “Open Firefox” !!
if open is the most commonly used command, I’d rather
press the capslock and type “firefox” I’d want it to be opening up.

Is it possible to add more search sites (e.g. amazon, ebay, etc)?

Can there be extensions (like for Firefox)?
If Enso could import firefox extensions it would be great!

I’d like it if ‘Web Search Anywhere’ had a Google I’m Feeling Lucky search. It’s usually how I get to web-sites (via the Firefox address bar) so I have to take an extra step when I use ‘google [sitename]’ and have to click on the top result.

Of course the best enhancement would be the ability to add our own search commands by specifying a URL where the search term is replaced with ‘%1′ or something.

Rather than creating the new google-define command, leverage the existing define command.

The addition of Google-define raises the issue of pluggable providers. How do you handle optional providers that may be added or removed? It should be done without clashing namespaces and without affecting previously-learned gestures. I propose the addition of a “using” phrase.

When applicable, a provider list pops under. (Just like the go command pops-under the list of open windows, the define command would pop-under a list of define-providers.) You can arrow down to select a provider or ignore them. The capability to ignore and use the default means the learned command keystrokes are not impacted by adding or removing providers.

Examples:
Define using google
Define foo using google
Define using google foo
Define foo
Define using enso foo

I would also like to see yellowpages or some other type of phone number lookup.

Mod to my previous post: keyword “with” instead of “using.” That is more consistent with the existing “open with application” command. “define with google.”

Is there any way to change which Amazon and Google site is searched? I prefer to search amazon.co.uk and google.co.uk.

Following similar lines as the recent Enso map command, it would be nice to see “google directions ‘enter address’” as a command. If we could setup a default “from” address that would be great.

Why wikipedia opens in local version (my system setting are Polish, I’d like however wikipedia to open in English version)? How can change the preferred locale?

Great app.

Why do you guys hate Firefox?

Would love to choose the browser from Preferences. Better yet, Enso could detect the browser, and open windows / (Tabs) depending on the browser selected/open.

its great !!!
you have opened Pandora’s box.. we have so many “i wish” items now…hope you can cope up….

can you add support for clubbing 5-6 commands in one.

Can we set the default to say ‘open’, so that we dont have to type ‘open’

can we set the size of map, sometimes we need bigger maps..

can the commands maintain a histogram.. so that they show up in most used order

more will come…:)
thanks

When using Enso WebSearch function Wikipedia, the default setting is to search wikipedia for your country/language, in my case hr.wikipedia.org.

I would like the possibility to specify the default search local through the preferences web page, so that the my wiki queries go to the en.wikipedia.org instead of my local hr.wikipedia.org.

Otherwise brilliant tool

A way to add a search of our own as mentioned before. The Opera browser shows how this can be done in a nice way. Any search engine can be added in this browser with ease. You implemented the most wiedely known, but there are others. Snap, Ixquick and more. I don’t think it would be very difficult to create a command or to build a little tutorial on how to add our own search engines.

Looking forward to those additions.
