AccessWeb for Mac

From Kevin Callahan:

AccessWEB is a simple search application/service I wrote for my own convenience. Some friends are using it and have suggested others might find useful.

I frequently find myself wanting to select a word or phrase in a text document, in an email, in iChat or in a webpage and do a search. AccessWEB provides services for searches across 25 commonly searched sites. It does not feign to take the place of Watson or Sherlock, rather, it provides an additional tool for accessing information on the WEB quickly, without having to remember an URL or scour your bookmarks.

With AccessWEB, you can search Concerts, Books, Software, Music, US patents, Movies, Cocoa, WebObjects, Jobs and others ... I'll add more based on user feedback.

Specifically to Mac OSX developers, AccessWEB serves a common request: ability to search across multiple developer sites simultaneously. This version allows you to search across the Apple Developer site and Omnigroup's Dev sites for OSX, WebObjects, EOF and PDO with a single click.
The following search services are supported:

• Apple Developer Omni OSX Admin Omni OSX Dev Omni OSX Talk Omni WebObjects Admin Omni WebObjects Dev Omni WebObjects Talk Omni EOF Omni PDO Monster.com SeattleTimes.com Movies.com Buy.com HOME Buy.com SOFTWARE Buy.com BOOKS Buy.com MUSIC Dealmac VersionTracker OSX OSX Hints Google Pollstar Artist Pollstar City Pollstar Venue USPatentOffice text USPatentOffice patent number

  What's new in this version:
