Google Chrome lets you search lots of sites from the address bar in addition to Google.com by default. For example if you type “youtube” and hit tab you can limit a search to only youtube. I wanted to search drupal.org more quickly so I did a little hunting around for how to add my own list of frequently used sites to the list. Here’s the step-by-step for the mac version. I’m sure PC is very similar.
- Open the Options panel by choosing “Preferences” from the Chrome menu, or by hitting “command-,”
- Next to “Default Search”, choose Manage. This brings up the Search Engines management window.
- Click the “+” on the bottom left to add your site. Below are the options I used to add Drupal.org
Name: drupal.org
Keyword: dr
URL: http://drupal.org/search/apachesolr_search/%s
Easy!
