Firefox can do something similar by assigning keywords to a bookmark and having %s in the URL. If the URL is “http://www.example.com/foo?blah=%s” then “keyword x y z” becomes “http://www.example.com/foo?blah=x%20y%20z”. Those are called quick searches. You can also create them by right clicking on a search box and selecting ‘Add a keyword for this search’

Here are some of my quick searches:
URL: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?From=USD&To=EUR&Amount=%s
keyword: $
Entering “$ 10″ into the address bar (not the space) converts from US dollars to euro

URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s
keyword: w
Entering “w Ireland” brings you to the wikipedia article on Ireland.

URL: http://ie.php.net/%s
keyword: php
Shows the PHP documention for that function.
