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.

The only icons to the left of the URL in Chrome (version 48.0.2564.82 m) on my Windows 7 computer are the home button and the one that looks like a page with a folded corner, inside the URL field, that gives site information, i.e., security and permissions. Right clicking on either does not produce an option of editing search engines.

As a moderator, I use the search the forums frequently, so quicker search method than using the inefficient FT search tool or manually typing "site:flyertalk.com/forum" in the Google search field would be welcome.

I'm a Mac user, so have not been able to test on Windows. That said, to elaborate a bit, this is how you get to the search engines settings page:

The icon I'm referring to is the little "Document" icon right to the left of the www in this screenshot:

Then, when you right click, you see this menu, and must choose the "Edit Search Engines…" option.

Alternatively, try navigating to chrome://settings/searchEngines

Well, it's different in Windows.

As I wrote above, right clicking on the "document" or, as I referred to it, "page with a folded corner" icon produced site information, i.e., security and permissions. However, experimenting some more, right clicking on the actual URL address results in a drop down menu including "Edit search engines..."

Great, were you able to get it to work?

Haven't gotten around to it yet.
