Saft Shortcuts

Since my switch back to Safari and adoption of Saft, I've added a number of useful shortcuts to my Saft configuration. This feature of Saft allows you to quickly return search results from a site just by typing a shortcut and search phrase into the address bar. For example you could type "wiki web browser" to return this page. Continued with examples...

The format for the following examples is:
Name
Shortcut
URI

Netflix Search
flix
http://www.netflix.com/Search?v1=%@

Wikipedia Lookup
wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%@

Those are sweet, thanks. I've only started looking into this feature of Saft after using triggers in Quicksilver. Technically, you could do all these in QS, but I can only remember so many hotkey combos!
