Are you sure you'd want to bookmark everything you click on after a
search? What if the first 5 pages aren't really what you want but the
6th is?

I like the idea but I think I'd want more control. Since the page you
navigate to from Google's results page will have received a Referer
header, maybe that can be accessed from a user script to add a link to
the page letting you add it to your del.icio.us account with the
search terms you used to get there. This way you can look at the page
before deciding to bookmark it.
