Custom Google and Youtube Search on Firefox

Just typing g hello in address bar will search google for the word hello. Entering y abc in address bar will search youtube for word abc. You want to remove the search box? Go ahead.


You can make it possible by creating following custom bookmarks with keywords g and y respectively:

  Name: Custom Google Search
  Location: http://www.google.com/search?complete=0&q=%s
  Keyword: g

  Name: Custom Youtube Search
  Location: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s&webm=1
  Keyword: y

Note: Youtube search will show only HTML5 videos because of &webm=1 and google search will disable annoying autocomplete because of complete=0&.
