So what exactly is a smart keyword? A smart keyword is a keyword that, when typed in the location bar, will open up a site for that keyword.

For example, let’s say you have a bookmark and it links to DCTF (Don’t Copy That Floppy). If you put “DCTF” in a keyword for that bookmark, then if you type in DCTF in the location bar, you’ll get to this site! Cool huh?

Another useful tactic for this is for searches. For instance, let’s say you wanted to be able to search DCTF. Instead of tediously typing it in the box over there each time, you could do the following:

1. Right-click the search box and click “Add a Keyword for this search…”
2. Put whatever name and keyword you want in. For the sake of this article, let’s say you typed in DCTF for each box.
3. Now let’s say you’re looking for MGS4 goodies. Type in the location bar: “DCTF MGS4″
4. You should get search results for MGS4!

Productive huh?
