Summary

This article explains how to turn the browser URL bar into a command-line interface for searching multiple wikis using Firefox keyword bookmarks. It covers direct keyword bookmarks, single-substitution keywords with %s, multi-parameter searches via a JavaScript bookmarklet, and mass updates of bookmarks with regex. It also discusses updating bookmarks via HTML imports and sharing usability tips, concluding that the approach is practical for a small set of wikis and can be replicated with careful naming conventions.
