Cybersearch - Searches right in your address bar!

CyberSearch Firefox Extension allows you to conduct searches right in your address bar. And better yet, it can be customized with keywords so that you could be site-specific when you search! For example, if I wanted to search for lyrics for "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat, I could...

Open a New Tab
Go to www.google.com
Search for the Bubbly Song
And look through the sites that have the lyrics.

OR I can use CyberSearch and...

just type in "lyrics bubbly" (I have lyrics as a keyword to search songmeanings.net, elyrics, and some other lyric sites) in the address bar, and it would run the search right on your current page!

This is a bit hard to explain, but I've attached a video demo of how it works for a ChaCha query:

Look at it go!

Note: I am using the TMP extension as well so it won't close my main page (and open the new page on a new tab).

You can find the website here or the firefox addon page here.

After you've installed it, here's a quick video guide to set up keywords:
