I don't know all of the different parameters in a google search url, so here's an example using DuckDuckGo: 1. Create a new bookmark with the following as the url: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Adanwalsh.livejournal.com+%s 2. Set the keyword to something such as: dw 3. In the url bar, you should now be able to search for $SEARCHTEXT on your site by typing simply: dw $SEARCHTEXT How to add a keyword to a bookmark isn't obvious in my opinion, so here that is too: 1. Hit Ctrl+Shift+o to open the main bookmarks window 2. On the left pane, click on unsorted bookmarks (or wherever you want the bookmark to be located, I don't think it matters much). 3. From the 'Organize' menu at the top of that window, choose 'New Bookmark'. 4. A 'New Bookmark' dialog appears. In the 'Location' field, enter the custom url from above (or if you want, an equivalent of your own crafting, with %s as the $SEARCHTEXT). In the 'Keyword' field, enter what you would like the keyword to be (dw in the example above). I hope this helps!
