Searching devot:ee from your computer
I’m sure a lot of us use quick launchers on our computers. Apps like Launchbar, Quicksilver, Alfred or Launchy. Mac or Windows, you can get set up with one of these quickly and for little to no cost. Now, thanks to the fine chaps at devot:ee you can also search for ExpressionEngine add-ons right from your computer.
This won’t work with the standard EE search because it uses POST and doesn’t accept search parameters in the URL. It looks to me like devot:ee is using Super Search from Solspace to power this. Well done, guys.

OK. I know I am not going to get new friends after that, but what about Quiglee?? this website is MUCH faster than anything else I use during the day regarding searching for materials about EE. Ok, it is certainly missing a tweek to filter results or to search specifically for addons. But apart that…

devot:ee’s search is both filtered and sorted by relevance to make sure it returns the best results. That’s an advantage it has over the google search used by Quiglee. Nothing against Quiglee, it’s a neat little service, but that’s a big advantage of searching directly on devot:ee
