It's kind of an interesting way of explaining your cutting edge technology.

I literally laughed my ass off at this one. Still trying to pick my ass off the floor.

Oh, for F's sake!
If you can't use "literally" figuratively, then just stop speaking English, because you're literally illiterate.

Thanks to your initial comment I watched all four episodes.

I'm literally literal, or am I?

It could have done with being funny, to make up for the fact that it's soooooo wrong.

I laughed at your comment more than the original one.

Does it search the site or just the page it's on? If it's the former then you can do that in chrome without a registry tweak just using something like site:codeproject.com bob in the address bar. If it's the latter, then Ctrl+F no?
Not to mention you get the added bonus of your browser not sucking when using Chrome.

Neither, exactly (although it is similar to the first). It searches a specific url (see my example which just searches CP’s Lounge, rather than all of CP). But the real advantage is that I can assign an arbitrary shortcut/abbreviation, so I don’t have to type out the entire name of the site.

Nice.
It's a lot better than typing "baloney site:codeproject.com".
There's a pretty huge "but", though.

There still is[^], and it's still made by the MS Power Tools guys.
Heads up: download.cnet.com has taken to playing an "Aren't we the sweetest things!" video, when you open their pages, so turn the sound down, if appropriate.

In chrome you can set this up by going to settings -> Manage search engines -> add search engines

Yup. Same feature. Thanks for pointing it out.

in Mozilla's browser, Firefox, it's as simple as selecting 'add keyword for this search' in the context menu.

Yep, this is the same feature (and Firefox has exposed it in a far simpler manner). One of the reasons I submitted the original post was to find out how to do this in other browsers, so thank you.
But just to clarify (regarding instructions in Firefox): you need to click into a searh field on a website (for example, the "Search Messages" at the top of this page) to access the context menu item.

Aha...
Then thank you for your well needed addition on how to actually do it in Firefox. I realized I was a bit hasty because I wanted to exaggerate on how simple it was to do it in Firefox as a comparison to IE.

Interesting approach. I've used my own startup HTML page (with all my favorite links as similarly sized images representing the website [often the logo] - essentially my own start menu for the web) and on there I have textboxes which I can use to submit queries that effectively do the same thing on my common sites. Should the website change, it's easier for me to modify some JS than a registry entry so I'll probably stick with my approach but it's nice to recall the power of the registry.

It's a shame so many discussions like this immediately devolve into a slam fest.
Many people - like myself - work in conditions that dictate what browser we use and information like this is helpful. Comments like - "I tweak IE by downloading [Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.]" while entertaining to some, are completely useless.
Thank you for your post.
I found it useful to setup search url's for
b (Bing)
g (Google)
y (Yahoo)
and w (Wikipedia)
Yes, this can be done by clicking the search down arrow and clicking the desired search engine. However, those are two clicks I don't have to do. Since I am already at the address bar typing my search phrase, two keys take less time and effort to type (i.e. "b ") than moving my hand from keyboard to mouse, click, click, move hand back to keyboard.
Thanks much,
Brian

You set that one up nicely.
