When I do as directed I get "site:jsoftware.com %s" in the search bar .. I then need to backspace the "s" before entering "j copula locale" .. then it works.

If I use the "Organize Bookmarks" option, there's a "Quick Searches" folder, where each bookmark also has a keyword. Apparently, if you enter that keyword into the location bar, anything that follows get substituted into that bookmark in place of the %s you can put into the bookmark itself. More specifically, if you use "New Bookmark" from this window, you can create bookmarks like this (you don't have to put them in the Quick Searches folder, but neatness seems to suggest that they should go there if that's their purpose). So, for example, I created a new bookmark andd gave it the properties: Name: J software Location: http://google.com/search?q=site:jsoftware.com+%s Keyword: j Description: Type "j <stuff>" in the location bar to search jsoftware's site And, now, I can type j copula locale in the location bar, and get a list of relevant J pages... I've also created a jhelp keyworded bookmark with location http://google.com/search?q=site:jsoftware.com+inurl:help+%s and a jdict keyworded bookmark with location http://google.com/search?q=site:jsoftware.com+inurl:dictionary+%s I have also thought about make a jwiki, but frankly most of the time I'm interested in the wiki I am also interested in anything anywhere else on J's site. More useful to me would be if I could figure out a reliable way to search for J programming related content on other sites...
