TL;DR
I am in search of a technique to allow "search shortcuts" in macOS Safari. For instance I would like to have the ability to kind wi my search time period to seek for "my search time period" on Wikipedia, or yt my search time period to seek for "my search time period" on YouTube. That is one thing that is constructed into Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, however not in Safari.
Extra data
I am making an attempt to offer macOS Safari a sincere attempt as my default browser. This with Safari 15.2, on macOS Monterey 12.1.
The key ache level for me is fast entry to completely different engines like google (or websites) within the deal with bar. I do know I can select the default from a brief record (DuckDuckGo, Google, and so forth), and that I may entry further engines like google utilizing "Allow Fast Web site Search" within the preferences:
That is not nice although, as a result of if I need to search on Wikipedia, for instance, I’ve to kind the entire Wikipedia hostname earlier than my search time period, e.g. en.wikipedia.org my search time period. Solely then Safari will acknowledge it, after which I additionally should press ↓ with a view to really choose a Wikipedia search:
That is lots of keys to press, and gradual.
A lot slower, in actual fact, than what I am used to with Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, the place I can configure the quick-search perform to make use of key phrases as an alternative of your complete web site hostname. For instance, I can use wi for Wikipedia and yt for YouTube. It is simply constructed into my muscle reminiscence, I suppose.
I’ve seemed for Safari extensions that may accomplish this, however could not discover any. Any suggestion?
