Inquisitor, the Safari and Camino plug-in that brings Spotlight to searching the web, has been ported to a web-based search engine. Upon entering a search into its pleasantly minimal interface, you will be presented with a list of search recommendations and a variety of search engines to focus on, including digg, Amazon and their A9 search, Flickr, Google, Technorati and Yahoo!. Neat.Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.

Well. It's nice and brings (some) Inquisitor-goodness to browsers other than Safari and Camino, but frankly the search-field edition of Inquisitor is a lot better.

There has been a web version of Inquisitor for a long time. It got made over (quite substantially, I'll admit), is all.

I use Inquisitor.. However I'm still using release 1 since version 2 became a lot less usable. I hate it when developers of nice little tools decide to add features.
