QueryRoute

Your browser's address bar, turned into a command bar.

Create shortcuts for the websites and tools you use every day. Type a prefix, add your query and go straight to where you need to be.

Your prefixes work across browsers and devices.

For example

Search a site without opening it first

wiki Marie Curie

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Marie+Curie

Land on the place, not a results list

maps Berlin

google.com/maps/search/Berlin

Open a ticket in your own ticket system

ticket 1234

tickets.example.com/ticket/1234

Your own short links

Why QueryRoute?

You don't need to remember where to search anymore. Just remember a short prefix.

Without QueryRoute

Open the website
Find the search field
Type your query

With QueryRoute

Type prefix and query
Set up once, not once per browser

Browsers can store shortcuts too, but each browser keeps its own list. You set up every shortcut again in each browser and on each device. Sync within one browser is patchy, between different browsers there is none. QueryRoute keeps your prefixes in one place. Chrome, Firefox or Edge only need it as their default search engine.

With browser shortcuts

Every shortcut
in every browser
on every device

With QueryRoute

Default search engine, once per browser
Built for people who live in the browser
Power users

You switch between many websites all day, on your laptop and on your work computer. The ones you use most get a prefix, and the detour through their start pages is gone.

Developers

Search GitHub and npm or open a Sentry issue straight from its ID.

Researchers and knowledge workers

You search the same sources again and again, such as Wikipedia, a dictionary or a library catalogue. Each source gets its own prefix.

Companies and teams

Your wiki, ticket system and CRM run on internal addresses. With a prefix, an ID typed into the address bar opens the matching record.

How it works

QueryRoute works as a search router: your browser sends every search to QueryRoute. If it starts with one of your prefixes, the rest goes to the target you set up.

1. Set it as your default

Add your personal QueryRoute URL as the default search engine in your browser.

2. Create your own prefixes

Define short prefixes that point to the sites you use most.

3. Search from anywhere

Type a prefix in any browser and land right where you want.

No prefix? Your default search takes over
