Mozilla goes one better.  Any bookmark can have a keyword associated with
it.  Not only that, but anything which follows the keyword will be
substituted for "%s" in the bookmark's URL.  So, for example, I have a
Mozilla bookmark http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%s, and a
keyword "bug".  When I type "bug 50994", I am magically transported to the
bug report.

Repeat the same procedure for "freshmeat ssh", "weather san francisco,
ca", "quote YHOO", etc.

It is a very handy feature.
