Google Chrome - remove the routine using custom search

    Disclaimer: the speech is about a long-existing function, but judging by the comments on Habré, it’s underestimated, so I decided to write it all the same.

    Google Chrome can greatly accelerate the routine tasks associated with various searches. using the address bar.

    For instance:




    Setting up is very simple:

    Find on the Chrome settings page the button "Manage search engines" and add your search there:
    • Keyword - actually “team name” for a specific search
    • The link with the parameter is the URL that you want to open; instead of the specific request text -%s


    For the examples above:

    • translation into Russian: rutranslate.google.ru/#en|ru|%s
    • translation into English: анtranslate.google.ru/#ru|en|%s(it’s also useful to score and fynot to switch the layout)
    • jQuery docks: japi.jquery.com/%s
    • Yandex maps: mmaps.yandex.ru/?text=%s


    As a result, you will not only save a lot of time, but also learn much more - for example, by setting up a translator in this way, I began to use it much more often.
