How do you get work done faster? By typing less -

My requirement was to jump to a specific url in bugzilla given a bug number, and it would be nice - if you can just type "bug 1122" in the address bar and it jumps to the url http://bugzilla.domain.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122

I realized today, that, it is a feature in firefox which I had not noticed until now. It is called "Keyword Searches"

The feature enables you to define a "keyword" for a bookmark which has a "%s" in it for substitution.

Now, my bookmark will look like http://bugzilla.domain.com/show_bug.cgi?id=%s, and the bookmark itself has the keyword "bug"
