Pro-tip, Chrome hack: Better FlyerTalk search feature



Right click on the icon to the left of the URL in the browser's nav bar, and choose "Edit Search Engines."
(If this doesn't work, try navigating to chrome://settings/searchEngines directly.) Scroll to the bottom and add a new entry:
  • Set the name to "FlyerTalk"
  • Set the keyword to "flyertalk.com/forum/usercp.php" or "flyertalk.com" (depending on which is the first result if you start typing flyertalk into your URL bar). Or, make one for both.
  • For the query URL, put this in:
    Code:
    https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aflyertalk.com+%s

And boom, you've got instant nav-bar google search for FT. Just start typing flyertalk into the URL bar, press <tab>, and you've got an instant FT search.
