LOL! Must admit I always get a huge grin when reading about your "hair extensions" for kmext! :D :D :D

Anyway, I think I'm not the only one who's a bit confused about what exactly we're talking, because here we know "web search" and "find in page" as 2  different things, and it somehow sounds a bit mixed up, and in particular I'm not sure what you mean with searching twice... *confused*

Haven't tried the Search+ extension yet, so can only tell about the native functions, as far as I know them:

1) For searching the web there's the globe button. 
Just almost never use it personally, usually easier to type in the URL bar and hit enter. Yes, when it's just a single word, KM looks it up as domain first. There's perhaps another setting, mentioned in the posts above, but frankly I like that combined way in a single toolbar, so if searching for single words, I either include it in " ", or do move the mouse over to that globe button, or use Ctrl+G or whatever other ways there may be ;-)

2) For "Find in page" there's Ctrl+F, or for button fanatics (like me) a looking glass button (either predefined in some skins' toolbars.cfg, or manually added there). Both ways pop up the find bar at the bottom. And that contains a "highlight" button to highlight all hits in that page.
There also a way 3, my fave, just typing out of the blue :) Guess be default it is disabled, to switch on one must click 
[b]Edit > Page Search > Find as you type[/b] > automatically

So, am I assuming this right that you'd like to type something in URL bar, hit enter to get the google results page, and when opening a result have the search words highlighted automatically? Like of you open them by clicking "cache" on google results?[/quote]
