I have modified the Treo 700w WebSearchPlugin.dll to my server with a few commands to make it easier to do certain tasks
http://mavick.com/f/index.php here's a demo of what the app does if you want to test it before you install it on your phone.
the only difference is you will have these commands as soon as you turn on your phone in the today screen.
the commands are listed on the demo page just try out the search commands.
I'm also looking for a few good mobile RSS sources to add to the /rss command so if you guys want certain sources please let me know

There are two ways to use this script.
1.)
700W / 700WX users WebSearchPlugin.dll goto your today screen options make sure the Web Search plugin is unchecked, plug your phone into your computer. click on explore on active sync. Afterwards copy the WebSearchPlugin.dll into your \Windows directory and replace the old one. soft reset your phone. after rebooting go to your today screen options and enable the web search plugin again and you're done.
To uninstall make sure the plugin is unchecked in today screen options. locate the WebSearchPlugin.dll and delete it the original is in your rom so it will put back the original. soft reset and check your today screen options again.
2.)
Other users or if you dont want to go thru the hassle of replacing files. you can install Search Today
