Safari Plugin: Inquisitor

The first test is about a small extension (input manager) to Safari, Apple’s web browser included in OS X: Inquisitor 3.0Inquisitor changes the behavior of the integrated search field to use the Google API for auto completion – Spotlight for the web. While inputting the search terms Google is contacted – the results you get sometimes change with every character you expand your terms

Inquisitor Search Window

The plugin extends Safari’s settings dialogue with a further site called “Search” to setup the search options (e.g. use localozed Google sites like google.de, number of results to display, behavior of Google’s auto completion, …):
