This will automatically save my time now that i search so many sites at the same time.Thanks to Firefox for the new invention.

Well, that certainly beats the hell out of searching through my dozens of custom search engines ;) Thanks

Paul, thats cheeky lol! Very good discovery, I’ve bookmarked it. Reading at the top and seeing ‘google ‘, I was trying it but it was bringing the google search page with the keyword ‘google mykeyword’ term. I use Search bar a lot and there’s a shortcut to it as well. ( CTRL + K ), it’s for search bar and CTRL + L for the location bar. I will try out your stuff too. Thank you.

@Amy: You certainly can use both. I’d recommend just giving Firefox a try and seeing if you like it, you can always uninstall with no problems.

The more I learn about firefox, the more I want to install it. I’m just a little wary about installing it, A- Because it isn’t Microsoft, heaven forbid! and B- I’m sharing the computer with my elderly (although she’d wack me for saying that) Mother, and I’m not sure she’d adapt to it instead of IE. Can you have both IE and Firefox installed together and maybe set different preferences for visiting websites with different profiles?

This is a very good tutorial. And it’s very easy to understand. Yet, like NIcole, I prefer the normal search box. Yet, this is also very good.

I prefer the normal search box, but if I came across location bar, I will refer to this tutorial (:

That’s a pretty clever tip, but I think I’ll stick with the traditional searching methods. By the way, I also use the Chromifox theme, and I love it!

@Okan: Well the alternative is to just copy/paste the search URL and substitute %s, but you need to create a bookmark at some point anyway for the results page. Remember, you’re not bookmarking the search page, you’re bookmarking the results page and substituting the query in the URL.

You mentioned “Bookmark the results page of your search by going into your “Bookmarks” menu and selecting “Bookmark this Page” (or just hit CTRL + D).”

Why are we required to bookmark the results page? I think the search query url can be seen in address bar.
