===There are four quicksearches by default in firefox:===
#REDIRECT [[Using keyword searches]]
<table border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td>'''Service'''</td>
<td>'''Keyword'''</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Google</td>
<td>google</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Google I'm feeling lucky</td>
<td>goto</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Dictionary.com</td>
<td>dict</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Google stock search</td>
<td>quot</td>
</tr>
</table>
 
===Quicksearches are implemented by bookmarks with a keyword. ===
You can do
the same for your bookmarks, just right-click on a bookmark and choose
'properties'.  In this pane you can fill in the keyword, which from now on, you
can type in your address bar instead of the bookmarked url.
 
===Use the quicksearch keywords like this:===
Just type the keyword in the adressbar, followed by your entry,
dict parallelopipedon
will give you the meaning of the word parallelopipedon.
 
 
===Add new quicksearches===
* Do a search on 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
