I was setting up Google Chrome when I discovered its feature, the Site Search Shortcut<\/strong>. What is the Site Search Shortcut? It’s a tool that speeds up searches by using a shortcut in the address bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often use Wikipedia to search for topics I want to read about. I usually Google the topic (the old-school way!), then I see the wiki page on the front page of Google search and click on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Site Search Shortcut makes accessing the Wiki easier and faster. Setup is also quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Site<\/a>

1.<\/strong> Go to Google Chrome settings: copy and paste this command in the URL location (address) bar chrome:\/\/settings\/searchEngines<\/code>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Add a Site Search: click the “Add” button next to “Site search”<\/p>\n\n\n\n


3.<\/strong> Setup the shortcut step by step:
– Name.: Wikipedia
– Shortcut: @w (you can use ! or @ like I do)
– URL: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=%s<\/code>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Click the “Add” button to save it. Done<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

From now on, type the keyword @w followed by a space and type in search term into the address bar, it will open the Wikipedia search results page<\/p>\n\n\n\n
