Safari 4 is a bit slow compared to either Opera and Firefox. but i like the interface and graphics of Safari 4, it is cool though.

i like the design of Safari 4 but i think it uses more resources compared to Opera.

Hi Michal,
Is this occurring only in Safari? We’ve noticed an issue with TextExpander and autocompletion of URLs. We’re not sure what to do about it given that the characters automatically added in the autocompletion do not transit the standard keyboard filter.

Thanks for using TextExpander from SmileOnMyMac!

Regards,

Greg

I also use Safari Stand for these custom searches and it works great. Stand has a bunch of other options too, one which I like closes the Downloads window after downloads are finished.

Hey! For me Stand (http://hetima.com/safari/stand-e.html) still works in Safari Beta 4. It gives you next to other things this customizable search option. For example I can type “gl hat” and it will do a google lucky search.

@Patrick: Your comment made me realize that TextExpander does support mid-point insertion for your snippets in the form of a “Position Cursor Here” command.

For instance, to set up a search of your own Delicious bookmarks, the URL has some search parameters after the point in the URL where the search terms are. Here is a search for “applescript safari” in my bookmarks:

http://delicious.com/search?p=applescript%20safari&u=Peter_Verkhovensky&chk=&context=userposts&fr=del_icio_us&lc=1

Without the user parameters (“u=Peter_Verkhovensky” and the rest of it) the URL would search the whole of Delicious and not narrow itself down to my bookmarks alone. To set up the user constrained search using TextExpander, import the entire URL and delete only the search terms (in the above example “applescript%20safari”) and you can have TextExpander place your cursor in the appropriate place for your to perform the search (the position cursor command is in the “+” dropdown menu next to the Label box of the new snippet preference pane). Maybe not as powerful as AutoCue in TypeIt4Me (which I’m not familiar with) but useful enough to search more complicated URLs. Thanks for the helpful comments.

@Jean MacDonald: Thanks for stopping by, and for your hard work on TextExpander.
