My quick searches:
- The obligatory Google (g)
- Google this domain (gd): use google to search the site you’re currently at.
- Merriam-Webster (d)
- Wikipedia (wp)
- IMDb (db)
- Amazon (az)
- Netflix (fx)
- tinyURL (t): type the keyword in front of a long URL to get a tinyURL.
- Flickr (fl): Search for photos on flickr.
- Reverse Directory (rd): look up phone numbers—cheap caller ID.
- Urban Dictionary (ud): look up slang.
I love these things, obviously. Why have a honking big search bar or search sidebar when the browser comes with a space for user input already, namely the address bar? I didn’t even know this until researching this post, but in Firefox you can actually just right click on any GET form to create a quicksearch. Genius.
