I use Firefox's bookmark-keyword feature. It means that I type directly into the URL bar "i cute ducky" and it matches the following bookmark:
Name: i jump
Location: https://blekko.com/ws/%s/images
Keyword: i
Thus it dynamically gets rewritten to "https://blekko.com/ws/cute%20ducky/images https://blekko.com/ws/cute%20ducky/images as it should.
As you can see, I call these "jumps" and I have a bunch of them. 'o drostie' takes me to http://www.drostie.org/ http://www.drostie.org/ for example. 'wik Aharanov-Bohm Effect' takes me to the SSL-enabled Wikipedia pages (which used to be in a very ugly place, secure.wikimedia.org, but have now been moved to en.wikipedia.org like you'd expect). There's "def" to define a word, "ety" to look up its etymology, "ark" to look something up in the Wayback Machine, and of course, "s" to search. I like the idea of verbs in my URL bar.
- tripzilch 15y agoYes. Opera's had the same functionality for many years :) It's super useful! I can also recommend making shorcuts for "feeling lucky"-type searches: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnI=yes http://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnI=yes https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!+%s https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!+%s go immediately where you want to go (provided your query is specific enough to be the first hit)
