I've heard good things about The Baroque Cycle.

Butler is already with its search functionality but I haven't seen anything similar in Quicksilver. Granted, it could be added but is it already in there? Thank you for the kind words on the rollover effect! I kinda like it as well but I think I still need to tweak it... A project for a rainy day, maybe? :) On the subject of Gibson vs. Stephenson, I was going to reply here but I decided to expand my answe into a full-blown post! Thanks for the feedback.

Oops. Butler definitely offers competition to iSeek. Quicksilver does not, to my knowledge, have site-specific search capabilites yet, but I can easily see such a thing being implemented. Typing in "search " could bring up a list of available engines in the Results window. Once one was selected, the query terms would be passed to it.

They just need a better interface to define search engines...
