Del.icio.us/Google Mashup: Deligoo

Deligoo is a new browser add-on that I think will be really useful if I can break my Google habit and remember to use it. The add-on is a del.ico.us/Google mashup search service that lets you search for items in your del.ico.us bookmarks. You can either search all of your del.icio.us bookmarks or just within a certain del.ico.us tag. To use Deligoo, you click on the installed Deligoo button in your browser’s toolbar to be taken to a page where you can enter your search terms and then deligoo to see the results. (What? Too soon to use it as a verb?) The results are delivered via Google Custom Search and are surrounded by Adsense ads, which may actually prove useful in this instance. Google Custom Search looks at the content of the saved pages themselves, so it will return much better results than if you simply used del.icio.us’s own built-in search feature, which searches only by tag. I am going to have to agree with Mashable!, however, on the speed - the results could be a lot faster to appear. Of course, this speed is probably proportional to how many bookmarks you have, so the results may vary for you. (Let me know how long it took if you try it!) The add-on is available for both Firefox 2.0+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.
