You can add *any* query you like to a Galeon toolbar. The Bookmarks Editor
includes a "Smart URL" field. The Smart URL field for Google looks like
this:

 Smart URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s

If you look in the HTML source for the Google home page, you'll find this:

 <form action="/search" name=f>
 <input maxLength=256 size=55 name=q value="">

Putting it together, the URL for Google is <http://www.google.com/>, the
search script is "/search", and key input field is "q". Galeon uses "%s"
to represent the data that you type into the textbox.

The hardest part is figuring out the URL to the search script and the
input fields that need to be included. Even after you find the beginning
of the search form in the HTML code, the code is often poorly formatted,
making it hard to see the related data fields that are part of the form.
Some are usually hidden fields, not visible on the rendered page. So you
actually have to scan the code for input fields. I use the search feature
in the View Source window, but sometimes it's still a little tricky. I
normally include all input fields that I find.

But I didn't have to do any of that for Google; its Smart URL was included
with Galeon.  ;-)
