The goal : make fast request on website you use heavily.

Here is a tips brought by Nicolas Jean, I will share with you. I already knew the power of adding keyword so you can access your favorite website faster by only typing a few letters ( ex : G for Google ). But Nicolas take us one step further :

1. Bookmark a website where you often make request, search request for instance, like http://www.wordreference.com/.

2. Figure out which part of the web address is being modified each time you make a request http://www.wordreference.com/fren/MY_SEARCH_REQUEST. Here I notice that every time I’m looking for the equivalent of the French word in English, only the last part of the address is changing.

3. So, find your bookmark, right click -> property. Here add a keyword : like dfren – meaning dictionary English to French – and substitute MY_SEARCH_REQUEST by %s. You get : http://www.wordreference.com/fren/%s.

4. Now enjoy. Type Ctrl-L or use your mouse to click on the adress bar and type : dfren bonjour.

Magic ! you get the page bringing you the translation of bonjour. A look at your address bar explains the trick : bonjour has been substitute to your %s… Now you can just do this for every search engine you want !
