I had a brainwave today for a simple but cool new toy for
all you addicts and power-users of Dooyoo. With the help of
Jon and Jos, the new Dooyoo Bookmarklets have been developed
and here is the sneak preview.
A bookmarklet is a javascript function that is in a link.
To use it, you simply right-click on the link and select
'Add to Favourites' from the context menu that appears.
From then on, that tool is available to you as if a bookmark
(click on your favourites menu and select it and it does its
funky stuff).
In this case there are 3 funky bookmarklets for you - and
they are a special shortcut to the Dooyoo Advanced Search
features. One of the bookmarklets searches for Products, Another
for Opinions, and the third searches for Members.
In each case, using the bookmarklet will instantly open the
search results in a new window. It searches for whatever you
select (highlight) in the browser window, or if you select
nothing, opens a box for you to enter your search term, and
takes you straight to the results. A very useful tool.

To show just how useful these are, just drag your mouse over
my name (below) to highlight it and click the 'Dooyoo Members'
link (above). Don't forget tho, that you need to add these
links to your favourites to have them with you wherever you
surf.

P.S.
Some other funky bookmarklets I prepared which allow you to
search on various search engines, or count words in selected
text, can be found at AIM-pro's
webmaster resources page. Go on, you'll love them!
