Beware: The developer inserts affiliate links into your search results without you knowing. A shady practice at the very least, because it's all done transparently.

More info and proof here: http://on.thehold.net/2008/01/has-inquisitor-gone-scurrilous.html

Let´s face it, Inquisitor is a great enhancement for Safari. It is also freeware. It is in my interest for the developer to continue to update and enhance the app. I do not really care whether the app points to any affiliate links or not. If this generates a little income for Inquisitor´s developer to facilitate further development then I´m all for it.

I've no problem with Inquisitor employing affiliate links where a Google search result points to Amazon, for example, but I'm not okay with it manipulating search results such that the affiliate links are shown ahead of the top Google hits. Uninstalled it for that reason.

maroon,

This has now been removed (well it can be turned off, though by default it's still on):

Nice, but I hate how it hijacks the ⌘↵ key combination so that MegaZoomer no longer works.

Avoid. Keeps a cache of icons at ~/user/application support/inquisitor. Essentially makes your search history visible to anyone using spotlight. Try out Glims. It's more customisable and doesn't appear leave files on your system either.

Did use this and it was fine. But removed It and started using glims. glims is much much better

new version tries to phone home after installing process finishes
