Keyword Searching

Just stumbled upon this site after I was assisting a customer with their word document that had inherited "selective" spellchecking on some parts of the file - but not others. The site contains a series of "5 minute productivity tips". I expected it to be full of "teamworking, networking and corporate bitch making" skills but I found the Searching with Firefox Keywords tip and was plesantly suprised! I thought I used most of the nice Firefox stuff like Live Bookmarks and the "Open In Tabs" stuff - but this is cool. When searching at a site (such as Google) you can right-click the box you put the search text into and then click "Add a keyword for this search". You will then be prompted to put in a bookmark for the page and a keyword too. Put in the keyword "g" for Google for example. Once it has been saved, you can then type "g taoski" into the Firefox address bar and it will immediately search Google for Taoski. You can also add keywords to any bookmark you have stored so you could just type g and press Enter to take you direct to Google too! So now, I can quickly search through that HomeMadePornTorrents site I have access to. Technorati Tags: , , , , , ,
