Even faster, I've setup "keyword searches" in Firefox (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches). I created the following bookmark:
Name : [so] Search StackOverflow // the "[so]" here is just a mnemonic
Location : http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Astackoverflow.com+%s
Keyword : so
Then, when I want to search for "vim vs emacs" on SO, I open a new tab (Ctrl + T), type "so vim vs emacs", and press enter. This searches "site:stackoverflow.com vim vs emacs" on Google.
I have a similar smart bookmarks setup for HN searches, and you could get more creative if you want (DuckDuckGo search, or even a custom StackExchange search like rayvega mentioned, using "http://stackexchange.com/search?q=%s http://stackexchange.com/search?q=%s in the location field).
Chrome has something similar: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95653 http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&...
- edanm 16y agoJust to clarify, in Chrome this works automatically. After performing one search on Stack Overflow, you can now start typing "stack overflow" into the address bar. As soon as you see that the first autocompletion is StackOverflow.com, you can hit tab and perform a search. This works automatically with any site you perform a search on, with no need to configure anything. One of the main reasons I moved to Chrome after years of being an FF user.
