::Tips & Tricks:: Firefox Smart Keywords for Easy Searching

As I said before, there’re so many things that I like about Firefox. This time, I would like to show another great stuff.

Smart Keywords

This is an easy way for you to search any websites right from the Location bar. Example, normally if you would like to look up things at Wikipedia, you go to wikipedia.org, select your language, then enter whatever you’re searching for and click ‘Search‘. Lots of clicking and lots of steps.

With Wikipedia Smart Keyword, you can just type “wiki searchitem” into Firefox’s Location bar; hit Enter and be taken right to the result.

Cool isn’t it??

Existing smart keywords that you can use are “wiki” for wikipedia; “google” for google.com and “dict” for dictionary.com.

How to create your own Smart Keywords?

It is very easy. Visit the page that has the ‘search field’ that you would like to search something ( for example diyanazman.com search engine ). Right click on the ‘search field’. Then choose ‘Add a Keyword for this Search…’

‘Add Bookmark‘ dialog will appear !!

…..

Then, you give the bookmark a name, e.g diyanazman and after that you have to create a keyword e.g “diaz” and Save it in Quick Searches folder or Bookmark folder.

Now, for example, if you want to search the entry about the dangdut karaoke in diyanazman.com website. All you need to do is enter “diaz dangdut” into the Location bar and press Enter. Everytime you want to search anything from diyanazman.com, just enter keyword “diaz” followed by anything at all!!!

You are done!! Thats so easy!

You can repeat the steps above for any website search you want to add. Why dont you try with this website now!
