True. I think "pathological" certainly does apply to someone with 18 search
plugins. Think: Valium :o)

More seriously, though, how many of those 18 search plugins do you use on a
regular basis? If, like me, the answer is "1", then make that plugin the
default plugin and you've saved yourself a keystroke for the majority of
your searches.

As for the "worst case scenario", you can always use Alt-Down, End, Up, and
you've saved yourself another 15 or so keystrokes.
