Most of you know that you can search Google or your preferred search engine by entering your search query into the address bar. But, when you insert a single string you get referred to the first result directly. To avoid this, Firefox offers a simple method.
- Open Google
- Right-click on the search field
- Choose Add a keyword for this search
- Name the title you want and define a keyword. I choose a »g« for Google, but it’s up to you.
You can also manually add a new favorite in the favorite menu. Type in the name for this link, a keyword and one of the url in the list below.
| Description | URL | Keyword |
| Google search | http://www.google.com/search?q=%s | g |
| Google site | http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A%s | site |
| Google link | http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3A%s | link |
| Google image | http://images.google.com/images?safe=off&q=%s | img |
| Wikipedia | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s | wiki |
I tried the same with Koqueror, there you have to click on Web Shortcut and follow the same instructions as above.
