Thread: Search Faster With Firefox Keywords

You prob'ably hit the same Web sites and search engines several times a day.
Here's how to get to those pages as quickly as possible: First, go to a site that has search capabilities, such as Wikipedia, right-click the site's search field, and select Add a Keyword fir this Search. Next you'll need to name the shortcut and give it an easy-to-remember keyword, such as the letter w. To search Wikipedia for George Washington, for example, you now need only to key up to Firefox's address bar «Ctrl>-L), type w George Washington, and press <Enter>.



You can actually associate a keyword with any bookmark-even with pages that don't involve searches. Just enter a short, functional keyword in any bookmark's Properties dialog box. For example, try setting up the compose keyword to open a new Gmail message. Once you've set up a few keywords, you can use your Firefox address bar as a powerful, customized command line. Also: Sync your Firefox bookmarks across your home, office, or laptop computers, using the Foxmarks extension this will keep your keyword vocabulary up-to-date wherever you're working.
