Firefox Awesome Keywords

Awesome Keyword feature

I'm sure you've been into this situation before:

The IS asks you, "define: heaven"

You KNOW where to look for this. Your process is most likely to load up definr.com or another dictionary. Then you would probably type or paste the word "heaven" into their search box.

That's a lot of work.

With Awesome keywords, you can instead type "[keyword] heaven" into the URL box of your Firefox window.

... and that's it. You're already at the definition page.

This feature is useful if you KNOW where you're going to look. Recipes, definitions, synonyms, etc.

Try this:
Bookmark this page: http://definr.com/%s
Add a keyword to it: I set mine to def

After you're done, go to your url bar. Type in your keyword and your search term:
"def heaven"

Click send. :) Voila!


The "%s" in the url field is replaced by the string of your search. In the above example, the url was http://definr/%s

If you typed "def happy", it would instead bring you to page http://definr/happy.

Add these bookmarks (you will need to add your own keywords). Just drag and drop to your Bookmarks Toolbar / Folder

Daily Plate (nutrition facts)

You may also ask, what if the website asks for more than one input? White pages asks for the "first name," "last name," "city," and "state." How can you accomplish something like that?

That should be all!
Enjoy!
