It&#8217;s wonderful in how fast it is, and I really like using it. The problem is, at last count, <a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/bushwald\">I have 5,441 bookmarks in del.icio.us and a lot of tags<\/a>. So, the del.icio.us content tends to clog up the rest of my search results.<\/p>\n<p>My first instinct is that I&#8217;d like to be able to filter out those results and then explicitly search for del.icio.us things on demand by somehow scoping my QS searches to del.icio.us. Now, you might suggest setting up a del.icio.us web search in QS, which I&#8217;ve done. The problem, as I&#8217;ve mentioned before, is that del.icio.us the web service is too slow for me, esp. compared to QS.<\/p>\n<p>So, being new to QS, I&#8217;m curious if any of you, dear readers, have methods for handling the above &#8220;clogging&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags start --><\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/quicksilver\" rel=\"tag\">quicksilver<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/osx\" rel=\"tag\">osx<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/desktop\" rel=\"tag\">desktop<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/search\" rel=\"tag\">search<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/del.icio.us\" rel=\"tag\">del.icio.us<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/apple\" rel=\"tag\">apple<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technorati.com\/tag\/keyboard\" rel=\"tag\">keyboard<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- technorati tags end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two things I&#8217;ve tried over the past few years on and off that never stuck: Desktop aggregators QuickSilver As I&#8217;ve mentioned several times, I&#8217;ve been using Vienna for sometime and finally like desktop aggregators.
