It'd be nifty to have a shortcut to the google cache, to pull up dead sites.  It would also be useful to have it present outside of just the location bar.  For instance, google's IE toolbar adds an item to the menu you get when you right-click on any webpage that takes you to google's cache of the current site.

My apologies for not providing a link, but it might not be hard to get something generic by observing the aforementioned toolbar.

You can do that already, just type "gg:cache:www.kde.org/" to get the version of www.kde.org's index page as stored in Google's cache. Note that the URL you pass to "gg:cache:" has to have a path, so "gg:cache:www.kde.org" does not work (that's one oddity about Google's URL syntax).

See also Bug #137096 for a new web shortcut request to a freely licensed web shortcut database called Serchilo, which enables you inmediatly this one (in an shorter version) and thousands of other new web shortcuts.
