even simpler in firefox:

[1] open youtube.com

[2] right click on the search bar and select "Add a keyword for this search"

[3] in the dialog enter the character "y" as the keyword.

[4] done!

now to search youtube from the address bar just enter y followed by the search terms!



I'd argue that manually adding each site individually is not "even simpler".


Does Chrome do it for random site searches? Not for Google properties.


Chrome automatically adds sites if they have an OpenSearch description document: https://www.chromium.org/tab-to-search

Firefox requires the user to add the search engine manually: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-en...
