Here's a handy trick to compile lists from web pages. This will work on Linux and I think probably Mac. Maybe someone can post the Windows version.

Install w3m ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/w3m/ ) or another text-based web browser.

You can use w3m in your terminal to pass a website to Grep to pick out whatever you are compiling:

w3m http://example.com | grep searchterm This is handy to pick out information like lists from web pages, such as a list of posters to an FR thread so you can ping them.

Whats wrong with simply dragging the cursor over the word, Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-T for a new tab, then right-click and Paste to insert into the Search box (I use ixquick) and Enter to perform the search? Very fast and no need to add another extension/addon?

Works quite well in Opera.

Oh, and I forgot: in Opera, if you drag the cursor over the word to highlight it, then right-click on it, a little menu pops up where you can click either Search (with the default search engine), or Search Within (any of the search engines you have available).

Not too difficult.
