Did you know you can search your web history and bookmarks right in the Safari Help menu? Just start to type a site or bookmark and watch it magically appear “spotlight style”
* Update, Lexy pointed out that when you mouse over the results, you get a bit of Leopard eye-candy. It takes you to the entry in your history/bookmarks and floats a large arrow over it. Nice!

And see what happens if you move your cursor over the items…

Lexy, now that is COOL. I didn’t try that out. Well spotted!

James: Could you update the post with a screen-shot of that eyecandy?

Yoy can do this also in OmniWeb.

Though I think this is somewhat implied by this tip, I don’t think you’re highlighting the full usefulness of the new help search. You can focus the help search field by pressing command-shift-?, type a command, use the arrow keys (or mouse) to select a result, and the associated menu item action is performed.
When used properly this means you’ll never have to menu hunt again. If you know what command you’re looking for, you can use this help search spotlight style for any command you need. It’s almost like a keyboard shortcut that doesn’t require memorizing the combination; more importantly, it’s a shortcut to those menu items which don’t have shortcuts assigned at all.
