Comment (by leavengood):

 I definitely intend to extend this feature quite a bit and will probably
 mimic Chrome pretty closely. One aspect of Chrome which may help you
 ribbonz is the drop-down which indicates exactly what will happen with the
 current entry. It lets you know that for example "toy story" would search
 Google for "toy story" or for Axel's example that "ox man" will search the
 Oxford dictionary for man. I will try to provide something similar.

 Part of this requires the addition of [http://www.opensearch.org/Home
 OpenSearch] support for having something like searching the Oxford
 dictionary or Youtube or whatever, and having each of those discoverable
 on their respective web-sites and then configurable with keywords, etc. I
 already started a bit of a prototype to parse the XML format of
 OpenSearch.

 Unfortunately my Haiku development time has been limited lately, and my
 highest Web+ priority at the moment is getting it built for alpha3. But
 like I said above I'll try to fix this too, since it is pretty annoying.
