Search Simpy directly from Firefox 
« WordPress Support for Posting to Simpy | Main | Search Simpy directly from Firefox, Part 2 »
If you are a Firefox/Mozilla user and want a quick way to search your Simpy bookmarks from the browser without having to explicitly visit www.simpy.com, here is what you can do.
- Search your Simpy links and bookmark (in your browser!) the resulting page.
- Open that bookmark's Properties dialog window in your browser. You should see a dialog similar to the following screenshot:
- Edit the Location field to make it look like the field in the above image.
- Edit the Keyword field to make it look like the field in the above image. I use "sy" keyword, but you can enter anything you like (e.g. "s" or "simpy" or ...)
- Save your bookmark changes and try it out! Use your Keyword shortcut and enter some search terms in your browser's Location field. In the screenshot below I entered "sy blogs", which will search my Simpy links for the term "blogs".
- Obviously, you can go all the way, and use more complex queries directly in your browser, as shown in the following screenshot.
Enjoy!
