Several readers have posted in the comments of an earlier post, asking how to email a file using Google’s Quick Search Box (QSB) utility.

Hit the tab key to advance to the next screen:
Hit the Enter key to select “Perform Service” and — violà — a new email appears the file attached:
What could be simpler? QSB is not in Quicksilver’s league yet, but I have high hopes.
