Tech Note: LGF Search Bookmarklet
Here’s a very handy Javascript bookmarklet I whipped up yesterday, when I realized I was often searching the LGF archives for phrases on other sites; for example, when I was writing the post about the Susan G.

What this bookmarklet does: you can just select any word or phrase (by dragging the mouse over it), then click the bookmarklet in your browser’s bookmarks bar and it will open a new window for the LGF Search page, using the text you selected.
To install this handy tool, simply drag the link below to your browser’s bookmarks bar and name it ‘LGF Search’ (if you don’t see a bookmarks bar, check your browser’s View menu to make sure it’s turned on).
Then just select any text on a web page and click the ‘LGF Search’ button, and up comes a list of all the LGF articles containing that word or phrase. The bookmarklet puts double quotes around your selected text, so you’ll see matches for that exact phrase.
So, without further ado, the bookmarklet:
