| 14/11/08 | | A little productivity tip for Firefox users—smart keywords |
Just noticed this feature in Firefox this morning which is a real time saver. I'm often looking around for books and I have a couple of favourite websites (Amazon, Readings). In Firefox you can assign a search box on say your Amazon website to a keyword. Then whenever you want to make a search you just type that keyword followed by your search string into the place where you would normally type a web address and hit return. And viola, the search results appear.
Here is the link to the Firefox help page that describes how to do it.

I didn't know about that function - clever!
I have recently started to use Ubiquity myself
(http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/ubiquity) which brings similar (but wider) functionality to Firefox, but it's still in it's early stages. Promising, though.
