Default Quick Searches
| Service | Keyword |
| Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" | goto |
| Dictionary.com | dict |
| Google's stock quote | quot |
Usage
Just type the keyword in the adressbar, followed by your entry,
dict parallelopipedon
will give you the meaning of the word 'parallelopipedon'.
Make Your Own
You can do the same for your bookmarks, just right-click on a bookmark and choose "Properties". In this panel you can fill in the keyword, which from now on, you can type in your address bar instead of the bookmarked url. This is a wonderfull way of accessing your bookmarklets.
- Do a search on the site or find the site you want to add a quicksearch to.
- Bookmark the page you are brought to.
- In your bookmark, find and replace what you searched for with %s (If it does not appear, you cannot use a quicksearch here)
- Add a keyword
