Searching Wikipedia

edit

Searching Wikipedia sounds easy. But as with just about everything that sounds easy once you start to take a closer look you realize: It's really not easy.

Browser Shortcuts; aliases

edit

I am talking about the relatively obscure %s feature in Chrome and Firefox and perhaps other browsers.

Briefly, this lets you type some text in the address bar of your browser and transform it without having to visit any intermediate websites.

For example

edit

I'm guessing there are some websites you frequently visit. I'm guessing they might be:

  • Your school email
  • Your child's school or classroom
  • A news site
  • Your local library
  • Your bank
  • Your investments
  • Wikipedia
  • Wikipedia Commons
  • Simple language version of Wikipedia
