A "smart bookmark" is a bookmark which takes one or more arguments and substitutes them into the URL. The arguments are represented by the string %s. For example, the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=%s can be used to expedite searching with the Google™ search engine. Smart bookmarks can be accessed in a number of ways:
In the location field: If the bookmarks also has a nick, the nick can be used with one or more arguments in the location field. For a bookmark configured in this manner, typing google galeon would search for the string galeon on Google.
From the bookmarks menu: Selecting a smart bookmark will open a dialog box for entering the bookmark arguments.
From bookmarks toolbars: If a smart bookmark is placed in a folder which appears as a toolbar, a small right-arrow will appear to its right. When you click the icon, it will expand to show an entry field on the toolbar. Typing a string into this field and hitting Enter will insert the string into the smart bookmark and jump to the resulting URL. The length of smart bookmark toolbar fields, as well as several other related options, can be customized, as described in the section called Bookmarks in the chapter called Setting Galeon Preferences>.
From My Portal: Smart bookmarks will generate form entry fields in My Portal.
