Search CPAN

This post reminded me of what I use to search CPAN: IE Quick Search Keywords (from one of the guys behind http://www.shorl.com/ BTW)

So I just type "cpan J::Random::Module" in the location field and do a CPAN search. It's the direct access that makes an actual difference. Just like the Google bar.

Usability and convenience matter.


I've been doing that in OmniWeb for a while

OmniWeb allows mini "shortcuts". I have:
cpan@   http://search.cpan.org/search?query=%@
as one of my shortcuts. Very nice.
