PopSearch 1.9 adds Google search suggestions
It’s strange that this feature never occurred to me before, but PopSearch now has an option, enabled by default, to show Google search suggestions below the query box as you type your query. Suggestions and the old search history feature are mutually exclusive. As with search history, you use the up/down arrow keys to select a suggestion. This feature uses an unofficial Google API, so when...

PopSearch 1.8.6 speeds up history feature
Not having used PopSearch’s history feature in many months, I hadn’t realized how much it slowed down typing in the query field when there are many history items. I’ve made it faster now.

PopSearch 1.8.5 reenables search history on Lion
When PopSearch was updated to use a popover in Safari 5.1, I had to disable the search history feature because there was a bug in Safari 5.1 that caused it to freeze solid when a popover was dynamically resized. Apple has fixed that bug, so I’ve reenabled search history.

LinkThing 2.0.22 fixes a pesky bug
Some time ago a bug crept in that caused link control to fail on a page if you navigated to a different page and then came back to the first page using the Back function. This build seems to fix that problem. Download LinkThing 2.0.22 or let Safari update your copy.

Quickscript
My latest Safari extension provides a convenient way to save and automatically run arbitrary bits of JavaScript for any web page. (It’s only useful for pages you don’t control.) Quickscript is similar in purpose to the Firefox extension Greasemonkey, but is much simpler and less powerful—for example, it does not support userscripts.org. On the bright side, Quickscript makes it really...

Tabkeys 2.4.3 enhances "close last tab" option
Tabkeys has an option to prevent closing the Safari window when you close its last tab using the tab-closing hotkey; this is accomplished by setting the last tab’s URL to “about:blank” rather than actually closing it. Now, you can specify any other URL to load in the last tab when you “close” it. Download Tabkeys 2.4.3 or let Safari update your copy.
