Firefox bookmark tips

Ok, this isn't exactly Linux, but FF is a linux app so...

In a bookmark's properties, enter a keyword. You can then use the keyword instead of the full URL in the location bar and awayyy we go...

For sites that use GET to submit search forms, note the URL at the time of submitting. Eg: Note the URL:
http://www.google.com/search?q=search+item
Bookmark the URL and edit the bookmark properties. Subsitute a %s in place of the search item. The URL will now be http://www.google.com/search?q=%s.

Assign a keyword - like 'google' to this item. In the location bar type
google searchitem
and we end up straight on the results page.
