Another activeword deal for you:

Again make a new activeword of type script, and put this under the action field (I can't put this one line of code here, it won't let me so here's a link to it):

http://www.student.gsu.edu/~rjurney/memescript2.txt

Now you can enter any one word of text followed by whatever you set the activeword to (mine is set to memed) and the activeword key, and you will get a memestreams search in your default browser. For instance, I type anywhere:

bacteria memed F8 (no space between memed and F8) and I get a memestreams search on bacteria. Only works for one word, because Activewords sucks and has not documented how to use the libraries that come with their Active Knowledge package to further customize things so that you can specify memestreams as the default site to search when you highlight text and hit a particular activeword. I'm emailing them to bitch. You should be able to do like... highlight any text, and hit an ativekey you set (say F7), and it will auto search memestreams. This works for a predefined list of sites... but I can't figure a way to add one, and while they talk about calling functions from packages like Active Knowledge (that does the highlight searches) in their documentation... I can't find any functions to call. I'm kinda pissed. The product is kinda immature is all.
