Quick del.icio.us & QuickSilver tip

Before you say anything, yes I know that Quicksilver has a plugin for del.icio.us, but this is different.

Quicksilver can be configured to do web searches. You can use that feature to jump directly to a tag-filtered URL like this.

To do that, follow this steps:

bookmark in Safari the following URL: http://del.icio.us/melo/***. Change melo to your username or to tag if you want to search globally. Give a short name to the bookmark (I use del). You’ll use this name in Quicksilver;
activate Quicksilver (CMD-Space in my setup);
rescan the Catalog (CMD-R) so that he finds your new bookmark;
type the bookmark name, press Enter and type your tag query: css or css+ie_bugs or whatever. Type Enter to execute.

From now on, you can use this by just doing step 4.

Simple and efficient. I love Quicksilver.
