If there's one thing that haunts me, it's not wasting time on nonsense. Coincidentally, yesterday I realized that even though I knew I wanted go to a site, necessarily passed through Google all with to access to the. Finally I figured out how to skip this step and go direct to the site I am looking for. |
If you're like me, you probably do your Internet searches directly from the address bar. So instead of going to Google and searching for something, you simply enter what you want to search for in the address bar. Sure, this is an automatic redirect.
Probably the most "verbose" is to use the search bar that comes next to the toolbar. From there you can even choose the search engine you want to use.
However, for those of us who have acquired the habit, nothing will change our minds. Although, of course, it must be admitted that it is a bit more uncomfortable. In particular, when I know the name of a site that I want to go to, I usually type it in the address bar, and the result I get is a Google search. However, there is a method for Firefox to go directly to the site we want, making use of Google but in a transparent way to the end user.
I opened about: config in Firefox and looked for the keyword.url option. It probably has no associated value. Double click on it and enter the following:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Where google.com should be replaced by google.com + the extension of your country. In my case, it would look like this:
http://www.google.com.ar/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Ready! Now when you enter, for example, "fsf" will go straight to fsf.org. Try to see what happens if you type “use linux”.
