Firefox tip to perform quick searches of any site with a single address bar keyword
I don't too often just point to other blog entries, but this one is just too good to let slip by:

If you ever find yourself frequently searching a site (like Amazon, or some knowledge base of a product you use or support, or a mailing list archive), this is a great way to do it in a single keyword.
As for the site (makeuseof.com), that's itself a site devoted to sharing lots of tips. I've written about it elsewhere:

Thank you so much for this information. It really was a big help. I can't
ever seem to find what I'm looking for but now I have a better chance. I
didn't realize Firefox was so useful. Guess I'll be downloading it after I
finish this. Thanks again.
Just an update here: if in addition to making an address bar keyword to
search a particular site, note that you can also add it to the Firefox
search bar (in the top right of the browser), by way of a nifty add-on.
