How To Create Customized Bookmarks - tutorial for Firefox

snlildude87
What is a customized bookmark?

In Firefox, when you type "google blah" (without quotes) in the address bar, it searches Google for any sites with the word blah. You can also try "dict blah" (without quotes), and it will search dictionary.com for the definition of blah. Now try "slang blah" (w/o quotes). It should have given you the urban definition of blah.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make those for your own sites.

The Steps
  1. Find a site
    First, find a site with a search engine that will display what you searched in the address bar. Here's one: http://sang.trap17.com/. See the search box on the right? I will be making a bookmark for that site (which is mine) today.
  2. Get its search URL
    Once you have your site, try searching for something using the site's search engine. I chose the word "joke" for mine. The search URL is
    QUOTE
    http://sang.trap17.com/index.php?s=%s
    Notice that I replaced "joke" with %s.
    user posted image
  3. Go to the Bookmarks Manager
    Now that you have the site, do the following:
    In Firefox, go to Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks
    user posted image
  4. In the Bookmarks Manager, click on "New Bookmark..."
    user posted image
  5. For the name, enter something descriptive about the page you chose. I chose, "The Daily Ramblings"
  6. For Location, enter the search URL.
  7. For Keyword, enter something that you will easily remember. To search Google, the keyword is "google". Dictionary.com is "dict". Urbandictionary.com is "slang". Create something memorable. I chose "sang" for mine.
  8. Description is optional

  9. Click on OK, and exit out of the Bookmarks Manager


Testing the Customized Bookmark


  1. In the address bar, type "sang pickup lines" (without quotes), and you should see all my blog entries that contain the words pickup or lines.

Yes, good topic! Here are some more searches that I have and that I think people around here might find useful:

Webdev searches:
Dictionaries:
Others:

Argh! I should have added what kind of things you should fill in as search terms of course!

All the webdev searches take full URL's as search terms, except the last three which also can manage with just a domain name.

For all others you pretty much just fill in the word you are looking for.

    I was only recently made aware of the release of Firefox 3, having not been notified by Firefox, and
    problems with my internet connection that caused Trap17 and similar websites to slow to snails-pace,
    so I ended up missing the download day and haven't got it yet. The thing is though, I've
    been hearing a lot of negative press about it. I know that there was concern that Firefox would
    break Flash support a while ago, which was fixed, and I hear it's kind of restrictive as to
    downloading addons and junk. Now, I did actually test Firefox 3 Beta 5, and my only ....

    default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
    bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
    am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history
