90% of the time I search something, I already know what website I'm looking for. For instance when I searched for "Monaco Grand Prix" a few minutes ago, I already knew the result I wanted was the wikipedia page about it. So instead of searching on google "Monaco Grand Prix wiki" I searched in the firefox address bar "wiki Monaco Grand Prix". Wiki is my search keyword for "search this on wikipedia".
By creating search keywords for my 5-10 most common sites to search things on, I have eliminated the majority of the searches I would have otherwise sent to a general purpose search engine.
- nvrspyx 7y agoJust to add, there are a few websites that have horrible search engines, like Reddit, so I do the same, but use my primary search engine's URL scheme specifying which site to limit the search to. For example, if I wanted to use "reddit" to have Google search Reddit instead of Reddit itself, I'd use something like: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areddit.com+%s https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Areddit.com+%s Of course, you can use any search engine you want, such as DDG. You just have to figure out the URL scheme for limiting the search to a specific domain and include it in the search URL when adding it to Firefox (or any other browser that lets you manually add search engines and keywords).
