del banana

I don’t know why this is so funny to me, but I must share this story right now. So, like most keyboard fiends, I prefer Quicksearches on Firefox to the Search toolbar (the thing on your upper right corner, usually with the Google G by default). To use Quick Searches, you type, for example, “goog ‹search term&#155″ in the url toolbar of your Firefox browser window. Some of my Quicksearches are from dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, google image search, and google, of course, but there are others. So I configured a Quicksearch term for del.icio.us on my iBook this winter break, but I forgot that I did not do that for my desktop PC. Thus, when I typed “del banana” meaning “search for banana on del.icio.us,” instead of getting this page, I got the other thing Firefox does when you type a search term in your url terms, and that is, it plugs in the “I’m Feeling Lucky” search box on Google. I got the following page.
