		+	== [Optional] Adding Keymaps for Search Engines ==
		+
		+
		+	It is also possible to tweak global-search-assistant.js to allow for firefox-like "keymapping" for sites. Essentially, instead of typing in for example "dogs" then clicking google or youtube or wikipedia, etc, you can just type in "g dogs" or "yt dogs" or "w dogs" or whatever you would like to use. Here is what you do:
		+
		+
		+	In the "case 'search':" section at the end of global-search-assistant.js, just add these lines for the first additional search engine you would like to use:
		+
		+	<source lang="text">
		+	++ if(this.currentFilter.substr(0,3) == "nf ") {
		+	++ this.launchBrowser(this.URLs['netflix'] + encodeURIComponent(this.currentFilter.substring(3)));
		+	++ }
		+	++ else {
		+	this.launchBrowser(this.URLs['google'] + encodeURIComponent(this.currentFilter));
		+	++ }
		+
		+	</source>
		+
		+	After that you can just add statements like this for each additional search engine (replacing the parameters for each search engine as discussed below):
		+	<source lang="text">
		+	++ if(this.currentFilter.substr(0,3) == "nf ") {
		+	++ this.launchBrowser(this.URLs['netflix'] + encodeURIComponent(this.currentFilter.substring(3)));
		+	++ }
		+	</source>
		+
		+	Essentially what it's doing is checking to see if the beginning of your search begins with the letters "nf " (including the space). If the search does, then it strips the "nf " and opens the browser to the search results page.
		+
		+
		+	For each search engine you use, you may need to change 3 parameters:
		+
		+	'''Parameter 1:'''
		+	First is the number "3" in "this.currentFilter.substr(0,3)". This variable is used to check if you are using a keymap. If you are not using a keymap, for example if you do a global search for "fred" it will work as normal, just like in firefox. The number 3 is used because there are 3 characters in "nf ". If there are only two character in your search, such as for example "d " for a dictionary.com search, the number would be "2".
		+
		+	'''Parameter 2:'''
		+	Second, "this.URLs['netflix']" needs to be changed to whatever search engine you're using. There needs to be an existing this.URL for your search (see top of global-search-assistant.js for a list of search engines). You can add new ones using the methods shown earlier in this post. I would also imagine that you could just type in the search url instead of "this.URLs['netflix']" but I haven't tried that.
		+
		+	'''Parameter 3:'''
		+	Third, the number "3" in "this.currentFilter.substring(3)" may need to be changed similar to above. This function tells you how many characters to trim off the front so if you search for example for "nf goodfellas", it will know to cut off the "nf ", leaving you only with "goodfellas". If you're using a bigger or smaller keymap (such as "g " for google or "dict " for dictionary, you'll have to change that number.
		+
		+
		+	And that's it. The cool thing about this is you don't need to have a specific picture for each search... you can just type.
