I hadn't realized it but I already do this for some things. I build things with Ruby on Rails infrequently enough that I need to reference docs a lot. I've been trained to not bother searching "the web", and instead go straight to the official guides[1]. I'm also Firefox user, so I've set up a dozen or so "keyword" searches[2]. "wiki " brings me to Wikipedia results for , similar for yf- yahoo finance, az- amazon, etc.. For me, this has been the killer feature for Firefox that would prevent me from using Chrome even if there weren't privacy/consolidation of power issues.

By default, the keyword for search engines you've used before is just the domain name of the website where the search engine is (which the omnibar is pretty good at filling in for you) but you can customize it to be whatever you want.
