I do something like that with my proxy but they're keyed from the host name portion. I'm confident you could do that in Proxo. Here's some examples of what URL I enter and where they will go:

proxo
prxbx.com/forums/

s/something else
www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=something%20else

g/something else
www.google.com/search?hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&q=something%20else

spell/something
dictionary.reference.com/search?q=something

whois/example.com
whois.domaintools.com/example.com

So instead of typing "g " for a Google search, here I would start with "g/" for the same effect being done by the proxy instead of by the browser. The benefit of using the proxy is they become independent of (and supplimental to) whatever each browser vendor does.
