Firefox Smart Keyword

Say you search on a lot of different things - corporate phonebook, imdb, etc... wouldn't it be handy to have convenient aliases to all these searches? You bet it would be.
  • Go to the page that has the search box on it, right click on the box and choose "Add a Keyword for this Search"

  • In the "Add Bookmark" dialog that appears enter a name and a short "keyword" and save the Bookmark

Now you can type "kw search string" in the URL, e.g. "pb Janet Robinson" for a quick phonebook lookup. I can't live without my keywords. Oh, and it handles POST forms too, unlike most other browsers!
