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.
Find on the Chrome settings page the button "Manage search engines" and add your search there:
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.
Google Chrome can greatly accelerate the routine tasks associated with various searches. using the address bar.
For instance:
- "
ru nightingale
" shows the Russian translation of "nightingale" in Google Translate - "
ан соловей
" or "fy соловей
" translates "nightingale" into English in the same place - "
j click
" opens the jQuery.click documentation - "
m Лесная 6
" opens the address "Lesnaya 6" address on Yandex.Maps
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:
ru
translate.google.ru/#en|ru|%s
- translation into English:
ан
translate.google.ru/#ru|en|%s
(it’s also useful to score andfy
not to switch the layout) - jQuery docks:
j
api.jquery.com/%s
- Yandex maps:
m
maps.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.
