Add Keyword Browsing to Popular Browsers

Keyword browsing * is the facility that let users visit their fancy web sites without typing those ugly urls but a simple keyword. It is completely big time saver for all web users. Just typing a keyword e.g. facebook in address bar and pressing enter will bring you Facebook in a few seconds. This is the case if you are using most user friendly browsers like Firefox and Flock but other browsers unfortunately lack this functionality. I have created some plug 'n play solutions that will work around the problem and add keyword browsing support to today's most used browsers easily.

Refer to above image links for adding keyword browsing to Internet Explorer, Opera and Maxthon. If you have any problem, question to ask or want to thank, don't hesitate to post as comment.

Hope it helps. Enjoy!

* Keyword browsing commonly known as I'm Feeling Lucky searches from location bar.

Add Keyword Browsing to Maxthon


Maxthon doesn't provide a default keyword browsing support but you can bring the functionality onto your own Maxthon easily.

From Maxthon menu bar, follow Tools > Maxthon Setup Center path. Click on Search link on the left panel. A new frame will appear. At the end of the page below Search Engines heading, click on the Add Item link. A new form area will appear. Fill out the form as shown below.

*Note: I have created a simple form area below, that is completely identical to Maxthon Add Search form. So you can right click on the text areas, copy and paste values to your Maxthon without losing time for typing. Choosing all text will be handled automatically when clicked on text.

After filled out everything, click on Save. Open a new tab and type your keyword digg in location bar and press enter. Your location bar search will lead you to the site that your keyword best describe, in this case to DIGG .

Other example keywords you may give a try.

wikipedia keyword will bring you the popular open source encyclopedia - Wikipedia
flickr will bring you the best online photo management and sharing application - Flickr
blogger keyword will land you on the Google's famous blogging web service - Blogger
