You Looked.

A few months back I had discussed how to use keywords in firefox, and make your browsing experience better. Well, if you’ve begun using keywords, you might as well use them for grooveshark to play almost any song in the world.

The stumbling block however, is that grooveshark’s keyword can not be made in the same way as we had described earlier. And the reason for that is, that the current grooveshark website is made entirely in flash. Right clicking on the search bar, doesn’t give you the regular options you expect! So what do you do? Don’t despair. I have a nice piece of nugget for you :)

In firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+B to open up the bookmarks library. Then click on “Organize”, followed by “New Bookmark”.

A new window should come up. Fill in the empty fields with the following:

Name: Grooveshark
Location: http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search/songs/?query=%s
Keyword: gs

I wonder if you have ever used the keyword feature in firefox. If you haven’t, I cannot stress how handy a tool it is to speed up your internet experience in firefox. If you find yourself going to a number of websites where you have to search for stuff, (eg. Wikipedia, IMDB, youtube, dictionary.com etc) then this feature is for you.

Next time you go to youtube.com, just before you get down to searching for your favorite videos, right click in the youtube search bar, and then click on “Add a Keyword for this Search”. Fill in whatever you want for the “Name” section, but in your keywords put something short, something like “yt” or “y”. Once everything is filled in, click on Save.
