Following on from yesterday’s post which gave Internet Explorer users a way to add iNAVigate as a Search Provider, today it’s the turn of Safari.

We’re talking Safari for the Mac here, as I’m not aware of any way to add custom Search Providers on the Windows version.

Even on your lovely Mac (yes, I’m a big Apple fan!) it’s not supported out of the box.  Apple locks down the search provider to just Google.

This is where a handy plugin called Glims comes in.  Amongst other things, Glims allows you to use custom search providers in Safari.

Using Glims to add iNAVigate as a Search Provider

First up, download and install the Glims plugin from machangout.com

Once installed head to the Safari Preferences page, click Glims and then select Search Engines from the list on the left:

Click the Add button and fill in the details:

The full Query URL should be as follows:

http://www.google.com/cse?cx=008932603806167402700%3Apcuhwmtc3jc&ie=UTF-8&q=,#query#,&sa=Search&siteurl=www.google.com%2Fcse%2Fhome%3Fcx%3D008932603806167402700%3Apcuhwmtc3jc

Click the Add button to finish and you should now be able to use the drop down list of search providers to select iNAVigate:
