Custom search engine in Edge

Custom search engine in Edge

It's common to visit a website and use its search box. But what if you could simplify the process to just one step! Configure an Edge search engine shortcut, you can save time and effort. This feature is especially useful for lookups like DevOps item loading. Instead of searching for the item ID, you can simply construct a new URL with shortcut.

  1. Go to edge://settings/searchEngines
  2. Add Entry for custom search. URL with %s in place of query. For example
  3. DevOps - https://contoso.visualstudio.com/One/_workitems/edit/%s
  4. TamilDictionary - https://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/app/tamil_query.py?qs=%s&matchtype=default
  5. YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s
  6. Now, open a new Tab and test it. In the address bar type the Shortcut and hit space, you can see the search is now focused to specific web site. The text you entered is replaced in the %s place holder and the target web site is loaded with search results.
