Amazon shortcut goodness ahoy!

Posted by Mike Sugarbaker at 3:35 am on 12/1/2003

Are you as sad as I am that Amazon Light isn’t quite light enough? Would you like to be able to define a sweet little bookmark keyword in Mozilla that lets you type, say, “az richard hell” to do a cross-category Amazon search on some old punk rocker? Try bookmarking this URL, then opening its Properties in Mozilla’s Bookmark Manager and adding the keyword “az”.

You can do something similar with Amazon Light if you work at it, but you can’t search across categories – just in one category at a time (books, movies, whatever). So I hacked up a script I like better. You’re welcome!
