## Google Chrome Custom Search Engines



#### By Dan Turkel



A lot of people don't seem to realize the utility of the Google Chrome Custom Search Engine feature. Personally, I use it all the time every day. Want to search Wikipedia for Pokemon? Without lifting my fingers off the keyboard, I enter ⌘+L, then `w Pokemon` and Enter and bang, I'm there!

### How to Apply Them



1. Open Chrome

2. Right click or control click the address bar

3. Select "Edit Search Engines"

4. Scroll through to see if the search you want to add is already in there—you might just need to change the keyword

5. If it's not there, scroll to the bottom where you can add a new search engine just as you see it here



### How to Use Them

1. Go to your address bar by either

    a) clicking it

    b) control-L on a PC

    c) command-L on a Mac

2. Type the keyword (e.g. `w` for Wikipedia)

3. *Don't* press enter!

4. Press space

5. Type in your search query

6. *Now* press enter
