Thanks for that nifty tip for quick bookmarking Neil. Quick Searches: > > Name: [SEARCH] DUCKDUCKGO > Location: https://start.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s=hb=-2=web > Keyword: d > > For anyone else who might want it (but not quite know how): the way I got it going was 1. Go do some search with the search bar of the website you want, search anything you like, e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/*/breakdance 2. Bookmark that link 3. Go find your bookmark in the list of bookmarks (for me the "|||\" sign on the right of the search bar) 4. Right-click on the recently added bookmark to get "Properties" 5. Now replace the "breakdance" by %s 6. Add the "a " as keyword Just adding this as it took me some time googling (well, duckduckgo-ing) this (I couldn't figure out how to find 'properties' on bookmarks). It works with every website that has a search with URL parameters.
