Create a Search Bookmark

1. Got to the Bookmark Library and Right Click > New Bookmark and fill it as follows: Name: YouTube Search Location: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s Keyword: you

2. Click Add

3. Now in the Location bar type "you apples" and apples will be searched on YouTube.

I use this for a lot of sites with search inputs. I often do searches using ddg of sites I visit with forums or other buried content. Any search that has a URL that you can input a set of terms into can be used. Just use %s in the location for where the terms are in the URL.

Example using DDG to search CarForum.com:https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3CarForum.com+%s&t=ffab&ia=we...

This does the query "site:CarForum.com %s" on DDG.


I even use it to quickly reach Jira tickets that I know the number of. Just modify the URL with a Bookmark.
