Hi list
In opera, there is a search field, which loads amazon.com (or .de for me)
with a search for the given words.
I know that in konqueror in the "enhanced browsing" options, one can
define such shortcuts. What I would like to do is a "amazon:search-item"
in the address field, so that konqueror loads amazon.de with a search for
search-item.
Anyone knows how to do that?
I think you just need to add it in the Konq preferences window. I
think the part you want might even be called "Enhanced Browsing".

OK, thanks, I think I did not make myself clear enough: What I need is the
correct "search-url" to add to the enhanced browsing dialog. I tried to
figure a general pattern out by doing some searches in "all products", but
the search item does not appear in the url. Only if I search in a certain
category (classics, or sth else), the search item appears in the url.
Any idea how to get the correct search-url for "all products"?

The reason you can't see the search data in the url is because the data
is probably being submitted using the POST method (which among other
things allows for larger amount of data to be sent).
The way I get around this is to save a copy of the HTML page to my PC.
Open the file in a text editor, and find the <form method=post
action=results_url> tag for the relevant search box. Change the method
to be GET, check the value of the action attribute and make sure it is a
full url to the page not a relative one (ie it includes
http://host.domian/ etc). If not edit it as necessary.
Save the page and view it in a browser. Now any data submitted from your
local copy of the page will get sent as part of the url and thus you can
then figure out what you need to set in Konqueror.
Some site may rely on session ids in the form data and submitting a form
without it (or an expired one) may just bounce you to another page, but
usually this is only for sites that require you to log in.
Hope That Helps
