For that just create a new bookmark and add the following properties:
- Name: Whatever you like
- Location: URL of the search but with %s where the query is supposed to be
- Keyword: The shortcut you want for this search
So for example in the screenshot the keyword is tel. Now you can enter “tel kay in basel” to find all Kay’s in Basel. A few shortcuts I have configures are.
Name | Location | Keyword | Example |
---|---|---|---|
local.ch phone book | tel | tel patrice in st. gallen | |
Yahoo! Search | http://search.yahoo.com/search? | s | s Webtuesday |
map.search.ch | map | map st.gallen | |
local.ch “map” | dir | dir st.gallen linsebuehlstr. |
The name and keyword can of course be chosen to fit your needs. And the URLs are of course in one line, I had to break them here a bit because of display issues.
That’s how I search most of my information. Though with a few more shortcuts defined. Somehow I’m able to remember all or most them, strangely enough.
