I discovered a general technique to enable input managers in Safari 3.0 in 10.5, and used it to enable Inquisitor, David Watanabe's great auto-complete web search plug-in. Here are the steps:
- Install Inquisitor if you don't already have it. No, it won't work until you complete the following procedure, but it must be installed first.
- Move the plug-in from your user-specific input manager folder to the system-wide input manager folder, using Terminal:
sudo mv ~/Library/InputManagers/Inquisitor /Library/InputManagers - Change the ownership of the entire plugin directory to root/admin:
sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/InputManagers/Inquisitor - Restart Safari
[robg adds: The top-level InputManagers folder is the new 10.5-approved way of doing these things. As noted on the linked blog (or in Apple's developer note, there's a hint that this function may stop working entirely in a future update.)
