How to customize Chrome search engines to speed up searches


(Thanks to Nilesh Raghuvanshi and Jenny Magiera for their instructions and ideas.)

There a number of ways to create search engines that allow you to quickly look for something in your omnibox.


First way: Click here for instructions.

2nd way: 

If the first method didn't work, try these codes:


- Right click on the Omnibox

  • Click on “Edit search engines”
  • Under “Other search engines”, click on “Add a new search engine”.
  • Add a new search engine: Enter a name for the search engine
  • Keyword: Enter the text shortcut you want to use for the search engine (see below)
  • URL with %s in place: Copy and paste the web address for the search engine (see below)
  • Click “Done” and test it out. Open a new tab and type one of your keywords then spacebar. Then type what you are searching for.

Part 3. If you are unable to make Part 1 or 2 work for a certain website, try this
  • Right click on your omnibox
  • Click on “Edit search engines”
  • Under “Other search engines”, click on “Add a new search engine”.
  • Enter a name for the new search engine you want egs. Amazon
  • Keyword: Enter the text shortcut you want to use for the search engine (egs. am)
  • URL with %s in place: Enter the web address for the search engine. To find the web address:
    1. Go to the website of the search engine you want to add.
    2. Do a search on the website (assuming they have a search box).
    3. Copy and paste the web address of the search results page into the URL field. For example, I did a search for “ipad” on Amazon and this is the URL I got:
http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_4?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ipad%20air&sprefix=ipad%2Caps%2C197
    1. Replace the search terms in the URL with %s
http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_4?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%s%20air&sprefix=%s%2Caps%2C197
    1. Click  “Done” and test it out. Open a new tab and type “am” then spacebar. “Search Amazon” should come up right away.
Part 4: Other cool stuff to do right from Omnibox


1. Driving directions in the Omnibox
Type “From:  (add address) to: (add address)”


2. Timer
Type “Set timer 10 secs” and see what happens!


3. Type in: George Clooney’s bacon number (or any other celebrity)


4. See more ideas from Jenny Magiera’s blog.

5. To tweet from your omnibox, install Chrome extension Chromnitweet (then use tw)

  4. think the MVP is the player who adds the most to a team's chances to compete for a championship. Under this definition, Westbrook is out, because the Thunder have a zero percent chance to win the championship without him and near zero with him, so from that perspective he just doesn't add much value.

    From the other end of the spectrum, this definition also eliminates Curry and Durant, because I don't think their odds of competing for a championship -- getting to the Finals -- change dramatically in the absence of one of them. So I return again to Leonard and Harden.

  28. If you are experiencing problems using Gmail, you can often solve them by closing your instance and restarting it. This applies to both web browsers and mobile devices. If you're using Gmail on a desktop computer, close the browser, reopen it, and navigate back to the Gmail website. If still Gmail not working, check whether your internet connection isn't the problem, then check that the Gmail servers aren't experiencing a temporary downtime or outage. Additionally, make sure there's nothing wrong with your browser. You can also try using Gmail on a different browser and turn off browser extensions to solve the issue.
