[HowTo] add Manjaro Forum & Wiki searches to krunner

The following article was in the Planet KDE RSS feed this morning:

Web Search Keywords – Thoughts of a sysadmin

I followed the easy instructions on the page and was quickly able to add Manjaro Forum & Wiki keyword searches to my Plasma desktop’s krunner.

There are only a few easy steps to follow:

  1. Open krunner (Alt+Space) & type “Web Search Keywords” to open the configuration dialog

  2. Click the “New” button

  3. To add Manjaro Forum search:

  • Shortcut name: Manjaro Forum
  • Shortcut URL: https://forum.manjaro.org/search?q=\{@}
  • Shortcuts: mjf
  • Click “OK” to add the search
  1. To add Manjaro Wiki search:
  • Shortcut name: Manjaro Wiki
  • Shortcut URL: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Special%253ASearch&search=\{@}
  • Shortcuts: mjw
  • Click “OK” to add the search

You should now have the searches showing in the list of Web Search Keywords:

To use the searches, just open krunner & type the shortcut:search term. For example, to search the Manjaro Forum for “switching branches”, type mjf:switching branches & then press enter. To search the Manjaro Wiki: mjw:switching branches.

Searches from krunner will open in your default web browser.
