Wiki Trick: Search From Your Browser With Only a Few Keystrokes
 
I'm sure a lot of people already know about this, but for those who don't, you can search the wiki right from your URL bar (at least in Chrome; I can't guarantee it will work in every other browser). Here's how.

If you're like me, you use the wiki enough that when you type "wi" (or maybe just "w") in your browser's URL bar, it autocompletes to wiki.project1999.com. When it does that, don't hit ENTER or RIGHT ... hit TAB.

The browser will switch to search mode, and you can type in your search ... and that search autocompletes! This means that if you want to (say) look up the Burning Woods map, you can type just three characters ("wi TAB"), then just four more ("bu", DOWN to select "Burning Woods", and ENTER) ... and you'll have your map.

Happy wiki-ing!

I just type "p99 [whatver im searching for]" in the url/search bar and and google almost always delivers what I'm looking for in the first result. Basically swap hitting tab for one extra click, and I dont need to have autocomplete enabled.

Congratulations I hope the children survive.
