Smart bookmark

A smart bookmark (in French: a mark-page, a favorite or intelligent bookmark) is an active mark-page, with the direction where it returns a result related to the key word which is subjected to him.

In practice, this type of mark-page is thus used to mark a Internet site offering the function of Search engine, making it possible to practice a research without having to go beforehand on such a site. It is then possible to launch a research by directly seizing a word or an expression in the Barre of address of the Navigateur Web.

To configure an intelligent mark-page

So that the marked page is usable like intelligent mark-page, the should beforehand be analyzed addresses Web which is returned by the search engine at the time of the search of a word or an expression.

For example, when you go on the search engine Google to scan for the word " there; informatique" , the address Web presented by the navigator at the same time as the page of the answers to your research is of " type; http://www.google.com/search?q=informatique ". To announce to the navigator that you wish to create an intelligent mark-page using this search engine, it is necessary to replace in the address of the mark-page the required term (here " informatique") by the two characters " %s" (what will give in this " example; http://www.google.com/search?q=%s ").

This functions for the majority of the search engines. Of course, if you are not familiar of this kind of handling, you can collect on the Web intelligent mark-pages ready with employment.

To use the intelligent mark-pages with its navigator

The implementation of the intelligent mark-pages can differ from one navigator to another. Some examples:

with Firefox, you can mark the page of an search engine by associating a key word to him (for example the letter " g" will be associated with the Google search engine) and to carry out a research on a word or an expression with this search engine, it will then be enough to seize in the bar of address of the navigator the key word (here the letter " g") follow-up of the word or the sought expression, then to validate. You are not obliged to build the address as indicated higher, it is enough to call the contextual menu on the research field and to choose “To add a key word for this research. ”.
with Epiphany, it is enough to mark the page of an search engine so that the navigator immediately takes it into account: it is then enough to seize a word or an expression in the bar of address of the navigator then to select the name of the search engine wanted in the menu which is held just in lower part to launch research and to post the results.
