If you’re not aware of the “Add Keyword for this Search” try going to google and right-click on the search box, and click “Add Keyword for this Search” and just put a keyword as “test” for now. Now, hit ctrl+l (or cmd+l on a Mac) and enter “test election” and it will take you to a search page as if you searched google for “election.” Basically, you can do this with any search box. It’s really great, actually. I much prefer this method to the search box because I only like using one hotkey.

Anyways, since I frequent Wikipedia a lot, I have one set up for Wikipedia. Unfortunately, Wikipedia isn’t all that good at catching your typos or knowing where you really want to go like Google does.

Solution: Set up a quicksearch to use google’s are you feeling lucky to search wikipedia.org. Here’s how you do it:

• Go to Bookmarks->Organize Bookmarks
• Create new bookmark
• Add a name and appropriate keyword (I chose “wiki” for mine)
• For the location use:
  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awikipedia.org+%s&btnI=745

I found a nice little tip on what to add to the search to “feel lucky”.
