First keystroke doesn't find anything #9

Only after the second keystroke the search is performed.

First keystroke is very useful to search page number for example.

I agree that the first keystroke is useful for page numbers (and I used it thusly), but it REALLY gets annoying when using things like Google Reader or RES's one-key controls. My current solution is not the best, but will keep it this way until I have a better method to detect that sort of site. Thanks!

I'm not using it anymore, back to chrome and type ahead find extension.. what about using a user configurable blacklist?

I’d love to do a blacklist, but Safari’s extension API doesn’t allow a nice way to do that in the preferences .. I’d have to write an in-page prefs window. Ugly.
