How to custom search with 2+ tabs ?
Hi does anyone know if it is possible and how to search with more than one tab at once ?Example:
I have 2 torrent search sites: isohunt & asskicktorrent I want to search in both of them same key word.
I would like to have this result : I type "tor my-key-word" in address bar press enter isohunt search result is shown in the same tab is opened with search result with asskicktorrent.
I appreciate any advice or hint.
OK I found solution 
this in new .html page on disk
<script type="text/javascript">
var keyword = window.location.search.slice(1,window.location.search.length);
window.location.href='http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=' + keyword;
window.open('http://www.kickasstorrents.com/torrents/search/?q=%27+keyword);
</script>
this as new custom search search
address =
open popups in background for this page in config
now it works like a charm.
and if I ever need more then 2 tabs i just add more window.open

Thanks for your script . I just added Mininova site to the script.
But Opera blocks the popups. After I had clicked to open the popup, I only got two tabs opened instead of three ones (the first site and the last site).
What should I do now ?

For 3+ you should make more "window.open" like here:
<script type="text/javascript">
var keyword = window.location.search.slice(1,window.location.search.length); // extracting of the keyword
window.open('http://www.google.com/?q=%27+keyword); // open search in next window
window.open('http://www.kickasstorrents.com/torrents/search/?q=%27+keyword); // open search in next window
window.location.href='http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=' + keyword; // searching in the current window
</script>
I forget to write:
After creating new .html page DO not put script inside just load it normally (drag it to open browser if you must) and right-click -> edit site preferences -> Open all popups.
It is necessary to do it BEFORE script is put in the .html page. Because script alter page location and you page.
I also put "window.location.href" at the end of the script ( I am not sure if it is necessary but it might help ).
