Keyword Search

Keyword Search adds configurable search-engine shortcuts to Safari's address bar.

Our take

Jump to a chosen search source using a short keyword

Custom engine definitions can make repeated specialist searches less cumbersome.

Keep in mind: The latest description limits keyword behavior to address-bar searches under the selected Safari-engine setting, not every website search field.

What you can do

  • Define keyword-based search shortcuts
  • Choose a default search destination
  • Synchronize supported settings across devices

Good for

  • Safari users repeatedly searching several distinct sources.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting a new independent web index.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • The latest description limits keyword behavior to address-bar searches under the selected Safari-engine setting, not every website search field.

Privacy & permissions

Search terms go to the selected destination; review extension permissions and synchronized shortcut contents.
