Firefox : Google directly from the Address bar

        Hello there !! Firefox is one of my favorite browser alongside Chrome and it really annoys one when you get used to one feature of a tool and couldn't find it in the other. Today I was wandering about how can I get the same feature of Google search right from the address bar just like Chrome. Now googling has become the most performed task by any engineer in a day and if it takes to open the homepage again and again it really becomes ridiculous. So here I got a solution which serves the same way as Chrome does.

Step by Step Procedure :

Step 1:
Go to the address bar of Firefox and type about:config. It gives a warning which you have to allow. Press the button saying " I'll be careful, I promise ! ".

Step 2:
In the search bar of the page type in keyword.URL . This brings you to only one option.

Step 3:
Right Click on the available option and click Modify. Then in the pop-up window paste the following

   http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=
Then press OK.

That's it. You are done. Yes it was that simple. Now open a new tab and test your new feature.

Note:
One problem I had with this feature is that the search fails for a single word. I am trying to figure it out. But it works simply well with more than one keyword.

Happy Googling !!!

A little bit of tension and the joy to be in Bangalore balanced my psyche as my brother parked the car in the parking lot. He was my cousin’s friend who was there to accompany me as he himself was a student of IIITB . Nevertheless, both of us went to the help desk located at the main gate where I had to verify myself as me. Then we were handed over a paper which listed all the process that was going to be held and was directed to the main building. Impressive as we already knew what all we had to do without any problem. So we headed towards the main building. It looked great from outside with some perfect combination of colors and a large logo at the top. The campus was tidy enough which seemed ...

Banff & Jasper - 4 days ultimate itinerary (Ideal for non hikers)

Alberta is a paradise on Earth which finds a place in every person's bucket list. This province has something to offer for all kind of people (hikers and non-hikers specifically). Banff, Jasper and Yoho perhaps tops the list of all the places in Alberta and everyone atleast needs to visit these places once in their lifetime. We decided to visit Banff, Jasper and Yoho during the Canada day long weekend in 2019. It was a long weekend and we managed to add one more day to make it a 4 day extended long weekend trip from 29 June to 2 July. I had to do a lot of research as I did not want to miss anything in this trip and make the most out of it. After going through numerous websites and travelogues, I finally was able to create an extensive itinerary for Banff and Jasper. To be honest, you would need around 6 days to complete every places mentioned in this itinerary. But if you are adventurous and can go beyond the line, you can definitely do this in 4 days without missing anything....
