TL;DR
I am on the lookout for a technique to allow "search shortcuts" in macOS Safari. For instance I need to have the ability to sort wi my search time period to seek for "my search time period" on Wikipedia, or yt my search time period to seek for "my search time period" on YouTube. That is one thing that is constructed into Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, however not in Safari.
Extra data
I am attempting to offer macOS Safari a sincere attempt as my default browser. This with Safari 15.2, on macOS Monterey 12.1.
The most important ache level for me is fast entry to totally different search engines like google (or websites) within the tackle bar. I do know I can select the default from a brief listing (DuckDuckGo, Google, and many others), and that I also can entry additional search engines like google utilizing "Allow Fast Web site Search" within the preferences:
That is not nice although, as a result of if I wish to search on Wikipedia, for instance, I’ve to sort the entire Wikipedia hostname earlier than my search time period, e.g. en.wikipedia.org my search time period. Solely then Safari will acknowledge it, after which I additionally must press ↓ with a view to truly choose a Wikipedia search:
That is plenty of keys to press, and gradual.
A lot slower, in actual fact, than what I am used to with Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, the place I can configure the quick-search perform to make use of key phrases as a substitute of the complete web site hostname. For instance, I can use wi for Wikipedia and yt for YouTube. It is simply constructed into my muscle reminiscence, I suppose.
I’ve appeared for Safari extensions that might accomplish this, however could not discover any. Any suggestion?
