1421633 2016-06-09 01:08:00 Just found out a quick short cut to search results of a web page using chrome browser under "add a new search engine"

Useful to quickly jump to say Trademe category searches.

To try - Right click in Chrome the address bar and choose the Edit Search Engines option. A screen will pop up. At the bottom of the Other Search Engines list, you'll see the ability to add a new "search engine."
In the Add a New Search Engine field, type in http://www.trademe.co.nz/
In the keyword field, type in your keyword, e.g. "LB" without quotes (This is LB for Low Boy drawers Search for me)
In the URL with %s in place of query field, - copy (after performing category search, and setting sort order/filters, etc) the long search url (or shorten it (goo.gl/) (Google Shortener) like what I did, e.g. try http:)
Click Enter. Click Done.

Then to pull up results, type LB in the Chrome address bar to get to that page instantly.

I think Firefox has similar or an extension. Sure you can set up searches in favorites in Trademe, but I find it's untimely sometimes receiving email notifications, then need to navigate/sign in sometimes to displayresults. So using shortcut can quickly access search results anytime.
