Cleeki - The World One Click Away

Starting from version 1.5.10, Cleeki's Firefox/IE addon can import the IE8 accelerators into its channel layout so that you can enjoy all of the accelerators. Here is how:

First of all, get the latest Cleeki version (1.5.10). You can download it from Cleeki's website, or from Firefox's addon site.

After you download (update) your Cleeki addon, start your Firefox browser. And right click on the Cleeki icon located on the right bottom corner of Firefox's status bar. This will bring Cleeki's menu. From the menu select "Import IE8 Accelerators". See below:

Choose "Import IE8 Accelerators" from Cleeki's status bar menu.

You will then be brought to the website of IE8 addon. When the page is loaded, you will be then prompted whether you want to import IE8 accelerators into Cleeki.

Confirm whether you want to import IE8 accelerators

If you choose Cancel, nothing will happen. Otherwise, you can then enjoy importing any interested channel into your Cleeki.

Import your interested accelerator by clicking the associated button.

After you import the channel, restart your Firefox. The channel will be appended to your channel list. You can further customize it in Cleeki as you do for regular Cleeki channels (e.g., adjust the preview size). The following example shows Yahoo! Map is imported:

This procedure also works in Cleeki's addon for IE 6+. Hope you enjoy this new feature. Any of your thoughts are welcome.

It is my pleasure to announce that Cleeki's Firefox add-on has been approved to go public. Feel free to check it out at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7750.

Cleeki's Firefox add-on is Firefox's enhanced alternative to IE8 Accelerator (Activities). Select any text on your screen, and you can preview search results immediately in the same page. Support Google (text, image, ...), YouTube, Maps, Amazon, etc. and you can add your own channels.

For IE users, we also provide an equivalent add-on at http://www.cleeki.com/ieplugin.html.

You might have heard about or tried the new feature "accelerators" that appears in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8. It is a very nice feature to help boost web search efficiency without frequent switches between different web sites. Actually Cleeki contains add-ons, called Select-n-Go, for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, which accomplish the same function, only faster, easier, and more powerful.

Compared with IE8 accelerators, Cleeki's Select-n-Go provides better experience in that:

1) It works for both Internet Explorer 6.0+ and Firefox 1.5+, which covers ~90% web browsers nowadays. As a comparison, Internet Explorer 8's up-to-date market share is 0.37%.

2) The preview page is with richer amount of information and interaction. e.g., you can feel free to edit the keywords before search to match your intension perfectly.

3) You can customize your own search channel easily. One example is that you can create a channel to search only .pdf files.

Here is a screenshot about how the add-on looks like when it is active:

The bottom line: it doesn't hurt to have one more choice, isn't it?
