FYI, there's also a plugin for the Firefox search box:

Err... that's kind of cool, but why not just use LiveDocs?

Peter,

It's a matter of convenience. If I wanted to use LiveDocs I would have to go to it and search it (and anyone who has used LiveDocs knows that it can be slow, especially if you have the left hand nav loaded). The Bookmarklet or the FireFox plugin takes all the grunt work out of it for you.
