Hah, you think the Google interface is minimal? Slash n Grab provides a single box from where you can search any site for specific data using a forward slash / motif.
So instead of having to go to Slashdot to use their search box to hunt for advocados, you just visit this service and enter in ‘slashdot.org/advocados’ and enjoy instant results to your fancy.
Yeah I know you can do this in Google, but this is fast, neat and fun.
Slash ‘n’ Grab allows you to search the most popular sites on the web easily from one place. Simply type the name of the site you want to search, followed by a slash and the term that you’re searching for. For example, if you want to search Amazon for Harry Potter, type “Amazon/Harry Potter”. When not searching within a specific site, Slash ‘n’ Grab defaults to Google Search for your convenience.
