And now, here is a folder full of quick searches for all of the
WWWJDIC[1] mirrors[2]. Import it as before:

This will create a new folder called "WWWJDIC Quick Searches" in your
top-level Bookmarks folder.

By default, three quick searches are enabled (i.e. the bookmarks have
keywords attached): E -> J, J -> E, and J (Romaji) -> E for the RILCAA
mirror here in Japan. That's 'cuz I like that mirror best, speed-wise.

If you like another mirror better, just disable the three active
bookmarks by removing the keyword, then add keywords to the bookmarks
corresponding to your favourite mirror.

Search plugins to follow. :)

Cheers,
Josh
