The story …

I am too lazy when it comes to remembering urls. This has been a negative aspect of mine for quite sometime now. Around 4 years back once I forgot the url of the overture keyword selector tool. I needed to show something to my boss and he kept on waiting staring at me. I thought about the last resort.

Yep, try Google. But by mistake and instead of going to Google.com, I typed inventory overture in the address bar. And then I discovered landing up at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ (the actual page I was looking for). I thought it was awesome!

Feel lucky with Firefox and Google

The result is similar to the one I would have got if I opted to use the “I am feeling lucky” feature of Google. The firefox address bar got me lucky and saved my day.

From then on I use this feature and it saves my time a lot. So I don’t need to remember things by heart so much. I do manage to remember some specific keywords just as I explained before, type them in the navigation bar and then ‘Go’. Sory to share this hidden Firefox trick after such a long time. Give it a try now and see the result for yourself ;) .

The Tip:

Try to remember the unique keywords that identifies the page from any other web page.

Example: Type and hit enter. You will land up in your Twitter Profile page.

I gather this tool only searches whatever’s in Overture’s “inventory” so if any given word happens not to be in there, I figure it won’t come up in any list.

Nevertheless, this tool spews out relevant keywords like a Ferrari eats up the road ; )
