let's say I want to google search something related to "phpstorm", and writing:

phpstorm how to install plugin

or

phpstorm how to change theme

Is there possibilty to save shortcut (lets say "ps") for a word "phpstorm" that I need to write at the beggining of search sentence?

Or setting that "p" display "phpstorm" on top of suggested drop-down list.

  • Copy "phpstorm" to your clipboard and paste it every time. Commented Dec 9, 2016 at 19:46
  • yeah, pretty bad idea. Commented Dec 9, 2016 at 19:49
  • Create a bookmarklet that lets you type in the search terms then prepends with phpstorm and does a search? IE javascript:var qry=prompt('Search','search terms');window.location.href='https://www.google.com/search?q=phpstorm '+encodeURIComponent(qry.trim());

From chrome settings choose "Manage search engine" and add new default search engine with prepared url:

enter image description here

https://www.google.com/search?q=phpstorm+%s

Then by pressing p+tab in search input write searching sentence:

And word "phpstorm" will be added at the beginning of sentence:

If you install Firefox along side Chrome you could switch to Firefox to do it. It's called Firefox keyword search and works well. I have "yt" set up for a YouTube search and plain old "g" to Google search whatever comes after my keyword.

  • thanks, good to know (pity that so hard to switch from favourite browser) Commented Dec 9, 2016 at 20:08
  • There might be a Chrome extension that enables it, cos it's a feature in Firefox that's been around for some time now. Good luck!
