Firefox Keyword Searches
Using LEO on a daily base, I tried to find a way to optimize looking up a translation through Firefox. I already knew that I can use a URL like 'g java' to do a Google search on 'Java', and I wanted to achieve the same functionality for LEO using 'l haus' since these keyword searches are super convenient.
Surprisingly, it only took two minutes to google the web and find and apply a solution:

Bookmark Name: LEO
Location: http://dict.leo.org/?search=%s
Keyword: l
This makes Ctrl-T Ctrl-L my favorite keyboard shortcut.

keyword searches are really cool!
there's actually an even easier way to configure a new keyword: right-click on the search textfield and invoke "Add a Keyword for this Search..." from the context menu.
Thanks for the hint - it could't be any easier!
This is suuch a handy feature, but it can be a pain to assemble all the keywords one might like to use. To help out, I put together a list of 150+ keywords user can download with all the major search engines represented by two letter acronyms. I also included easy to use language translation keywords.
