Quantcast What's in your search box? - Anil Dash

In the spirit of Excel Pile, I'd like some community input. What's currently in the search box of the Google Toolbar or Safari search input in your browser?

For me? truck driver's gear change.

I like this idea: Anil Dash: What's in your search box? So, those of you who have a search built into your browser (firefox, ie + google bar, or safari)...what's in your search box?... Read More

To make sure I was spelling it correctly. Anil Dash asks: What's in your search box? Read More

Ah, the fun of following a trail of links. Anil had an interesting comment thread—he asked people to share what was in their Google search box (assuming that they had either the Google toolbar or Firefox running). One of his commenters (“hi... Read More

metro north train schedule

My firefox serach is set to IMDB currently and says “waking life” because I was trying to find a quote from Linklater’s Dazed and Confused but couldn’t recall the title but I knew he directed them both and Waking Life was the first of his films I could think of in a pinch this morning.

Nintendo DS

Winfirewall 2004

Sigh…wish there were more fulfilling things to search for.

“Andrea Harner”.

Hey, what can I say?! She’s undoubtedly extremely alluring in this picture. Or at least the right half of her face is…

“Blogtorrent problems”

Because I’m having them.

The WeatherUnderground search for 75246. I know it’s cold outside, I just wanted to know how cold.

Gladiaatorid. Because co-worker was trying to find some information about gladiators for her kid.

Soccer cake. We’re trying to make one for a friend, although the hedgehog cake looks much more tempting…

“If it is for the many, it is not art, and if it is art, it is not for the many.”

Was searching for a quote. Still not found it.

“bathroom on the right” - I was trying to figure out if the concept of misheard lyrics had a specific name.

“Revolutionary War reenactor Westchester County New York”

for my son’s birthday party!

“world aids day”

Anna Benson”, on Google Images.

Anyone know if the Mets are hiring?

“world aids day” also

“cinemania”

A movies site from Costa Rica giving away free tickets to movie premiers. :)

amazon plugin on firefox: jay allen, hacking movable type Its my midweek ritual, to check to see on amazon when the book gets released. Jay, hurry up already :)

I’ve been digging around in the (apparently large) corporate LDAP database:

"[LDAP: error code 4 - Sizelimit Exceeded]"

it was “how to fold a shirt” (great video) up until two secs ago, but now is brasil (someone spelled it that way, so i needed to check out if i’d been spelling it wrong all these years)

“bird frozen fall sorry lawrence”

(I was helping a student find a poem that he’d heard quoted in ‘GI Jane’.)

“junit faster eclipse”.

I’m loving test driven development, but the junit interface says it only takes .2 seconds to run but it takes 5 to update the stupid gui.

“kanye west jacobs”

A friend of mine thought that Kanye West was namedropping my family’s car dealership, so I wanted to check the lyrics. He mentions Jacobs, but I’m pretty sure he’s talking about Jacob the Jeweler (jewelry artist to the rap stars).

radio “movie theaters” obsolete

I was researching media history for this entry.

lyrics “wake up” the arcade fire

country

oh, and it’s m-w.com search.

was wondering if it was Bronski Beat or Jimmy Somerville. Oh boy I’m dating myself now.

“acurazine” - of course :)

LOL @ Matt and “Kanye West Jacobs”

Ninjasexual. Sadly, no results.
