Make Your Own
- 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
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 wonderful way of accessing your bookmarklets [1] [2].
