firefox tip: Smark Keyword Searching


What are Smart Keywords?

Smart Keywords are an easy way to search websites right from the Location bar. Say you visit The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) all the time to look up things. You go to imdb.com and click in the search box and enter whatever you're searching for, and click Search. Lots of clicking, lots of steps.

With an IMDB Smart keyword, you can type imdb Rachel Bilson into Firefox's Location bar and hit enter and be taken right to the result.
