It is possible to create search engine for the above using JavaScript.
By creating a search engine with the following JavaScript in address field, you can search Google Images from address bar by typing <search engine keyword><SPACE><search parameter 1><SPACE><search parameter 2>
Example: gi face monkey
javascript:var s='%s';var p=s.indexOf('+');if(p>-1){var s1=s.split('+');var s2=s.slice(p+1)};window.location.href='http://images.google.com/images?imgtype='+s1[0]+'&q='+s2;
To create search engine for another site, you have to modify images.google.com/images?imgtype='+s1[0]+'&q='+s2; part in the above JavaScript. When you perform search, s1[0] will be replaced by first parameter & s2 with second parameter.
If <search parameter 1> is more than one word use the following JavaScript. You have to use dot instead of space as separtor between search parameters.
javascript:var s='%s';var p=s.indexOf('.');if(p>-1){var s1=s.split('.');var s2=s.slice(p+1)};window.location.href='http://images.google.com/images?imgtype='+s1[0]+'&q='+s2;

I created my own custom search straight away: Google Maps Directions.
javascript:var s='%s';var p=s.indexOf('+');if(p>-1){var s1=s.split('+');var s2=s.slice(p+1)};window.location.href='http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr='+s1[0]+'&daddr='+s2;By vd2k, # 16. February 2008, 11:38:57

I'm trying to create a search engine for Torrentz.com using your method but I can't figure out why my solution does not work.
A usual link of this search engine is:
http://torrentz.com/search?q=foo+bar
So I create this entry:
javascript:var s='%s';var p=s.indexOf('+');if(p>-1){var s1=s.split('+');var s2=s.slice(p+1)};window.location.href='http://torrentz.com/search?q='+s1[0]'+'+s2;
Looks like it doesn't accept the "+" between the two strings and I can't understand why. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance :-)

I suppose that the site has changed its behaviour because in the past I used the "simple solution" and it didn't work. And I'm pretty sure it was that same exact string.
Anyway, thanks again!
