Matt Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 When browsing the web with firefox, getting to the website you want has become very easy. If, for example, you just type a domian 'keyword' into the address bar. such as ebay the website http://www.ebay.com will load. This is because, when Google is set as the primary search tool, Firefox will Google whatever you typed in and load the page that appears frist on the Google Search results.Try it out. You'll find many easy shortcuts to improve your browsing.Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 There's a setting in IE to "Just go to the most likely site" after a search, sounds like it'd do the same thing. "Internet Options"/ "Advanced" tab/ "Search from the address bar" section/ "Just go the most likely site" radio button. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StealthG Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Same thing with Opera here too. Just type in the keyword like Matt said into the address bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For example... if you bookmark www.digg.com you can just ad a keyword of 'digg' and type that in the address bar. I've done this for almost all of my bookmarks.
