QuickSearch bookmark for P5 API docs

Are you a firefox (or other mozilla) user?

To facilitate quick searches of the processing reference / API, consider creating a quicksearch bookmark.

The link to use right now is:
http://processing.org/reference/%s_.html

It only works for function name searches, which have an underscore appended to their name instead of "()".

If you don't know how to set up a quicksearch bookmark,  don't worry, it's easy.  Open up the bookmark manager in firefox, and navigate to the quicksearches folder.  Right click, select "new bookmark."  In the menu that pops up, give the bookmark a name such as "P5 API search".  Paste the above link into the "Location:" field and provide a unique, short keyword to identify the search, such as "p5".  The description is optional.

Now if you type "p5 image" into the address bar, you should be taken to the reference page for the "image()" function.

The procedure is essentially the same in camino (for those of you os x users out there).


No doubt a super obvious suggestion, but I just thought I'd throw it out there anyway.  Suggestions?

P.S. case IS important, at least on my browser (camino / osx)

It'd be nice to have a simple php search script so as to avoid the case problem and perhaps give suggestions (a la php.net).
