	Oct 4 2009	WERTY Doesn't work with me (10.6.1), this is the error I get opening safari with the plugin installed: "SIMBL ERROR Safari 4.0.3 (v6531.9) has not been tested with the plugin Keywurl (null) (v1.4.0). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer (not the SIMBL author) for further information." (Version 1.4b7)		0

	Aug 11 2009	SJK Workaround for SIMBL error with Keywurl 1.4b6 and Safari 4.0.3: Change MaxBundleVersion from 5530 to 5531 in /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/Keywurl.bundle/Contents/Info.plist (Version 1.4b6)		+1

SJK You're welcome.

	Jun 22 2009	SJK This may be of interest at least to some former Sogudi users: Keywurl's default shortcut overrides Safari's domain auto-matching on domainless entries in the location field. For example, entering mumble- (if there are no Top Hit, History, or Bookmark matches) uses Keywurl's default shortcut (e.g. a Google search for mumble) instead of trying to resolve mumble.com (at least). This is why I preferred Sogudi's simple method of prepending Space to invoke its default shortcut. For now my workaround is to disable Keywurl's default shortcut and assign a single '.' as a Google search shortcut. This gives Safari's domain auto-matching priority over Keywurl for handling non-shortcuts in the location field. Being used to Sogudi's behavior made it bothersome typing single words I anticipated would be handled by Safari instead of Keywurl's default shortcut. (Version 1.4b6)		+1

	Jun 9 2009	GCOGHILL The new beta 5 version generates an error for me with Safari 4 final. Sees Keywurl as v 1.4.0 and gives the warning window upon launch that it hasn't been loaded. (Version 1.4b5)		0

SJK Changing MaxBundleVersion from 5528 to 5530 in Info.plist will eliminate the warning dialog so Keywurl will load, but 1.4b5 is incompatible with Safari 4 final and broke URL processing in the address field when I tested it. At least until it's fixed I'm satisfied switching to SafariStand Quick Search shortcuts; haven't noticed any issues with SS 4.0L166.

GCOGHILL Interesting that a new release came out the day after Safari 4 final was released, but not compatible. Probably just an oversight by the dev.

SJK Actually 1.4b5 was released on Mar 16, adding (or fixing?) Safari 4 beta support, as you can see on the developer site. MacUpdate was slow to post the update.

GCOGHILL Aha that explains it. thanks for the heads up. I dropped a line to the dev, erroneously thinking he released a new version.

ANONYMOUS The new release works with Safari 4 final.

ALUAKZ thank you for being quick with the update! i cannot live without keywurl...
(Version 1.4b6)

	Jun 9 2009	GCOGHILL Just a heads up that the current version is not compatible with Safari 4 final. The dev is pretty responsive to updates so I am sure it will be updated shortly. (Version 1.4b3)		0

	May 8 2009	UNCOY Superb free plugin. Makes Safari a joy to use. I've been using it for months. Really improves browsing experience. Stays out of your way. Something similar in Safari Stand which I've just started using for the highlighted source code. (Version 1.4b3)		0

	May 4 2009	ALUAKZ simply amazing! neat, simple, and useful... i used to be on sogudi ages ago, but after getting a new macbook, i couldn't manage to get it installed on leopard. i've tried inquisitor, which was nice but too cluttered. it doesn't do search from the address bar, but in the search bar. i could never get safarisia installed. but this little pluglin in a beauty! finally i can go back to searching through address bar without getting my hands off the keyboard. thank you!

	Apr 13 2009	SW_TESTER you have to go to the DEVs site to DL the Safari 3 version. what is Keywurl running a backup of the keyword.plist every 2 minutes? way overkill. maybe backup only on quit? check your console log to see backup activity. (Version 1.4b3)		0
