Chrome at its best

How to search directly in website?

Let’s say you are searching for latest “wss vhd”, so in classic fashion you would either go to google.com or download.microsoft.com

How does chrome saves time and improve efficiency?

You just need to type “keyword” (I will tell you later what it is), and then followed by query in address bar. See screen shot below

Example: download.microsoft.com

Another example: support.microsoft.com

Manage Search in chrome:

Chrome > Options > Basic tab> Default search > Manage > Add

Enter some user friendly Name: download.microsoft.com

Enter Keyword(this would appear in address bar): download.microsoft.com

URL: Enter valid url and replace query with %s.
