Looks useful. If it had query URLs I could use to define a custom search in Google Chrome (e.g. http://charcode.es/?q=%s) it would be nearly perfect.

EDIT: It does: http://charcod.es/#%s works fine

I use the fragment-identifier for that, ex http://charcod.es/#foobar. Also, check https://github.com/msiebuhr/charcod.es/blob/master/http-pub/... for doing searches directly.

Yeah, I noticed Google Chrome recognized it automatically. I just didn't see it at first because the fragment identifier wasn't updated when I searched.

That'd be OpenSearch (http://www.opensearch.org/) in action.
