    Apologies if you already know this. Sharing because if you’re spending a lot of time searching a game wiki, this can be really convenient.

    You can setup your browser for typing ‘@mistria juniper’ would bring up the wiki search page for everything related to that character.

    disclaimer: I think Chromium can do this too

    If you are often referring to a wiki, you can temporarily add it as a search engine to your browser’s internal location search bar.

    With FireFox -> Settings -> Search -> “Add search engine” in the “Additional search engines”

    I picked a random mistria wiki and the URL would be

    https://fieldsofmistria.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:Search?search=%25s&go=Go&ns0=1 for searching.

    For name ‘@mistria’ should be unique enough.

    I got that by typing “test” in the search box to get this “https://fieldsofmistria.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:Search?search=Test&go=Go&ns0=1” just swap out the ‘Test’ for ‘%s’

    Now press ctrl + l to focus on the location/search bar and type “@mistria juniper” to get an in wiki search results for everything related to that character.

    One exception. if the url has something like ‘nonce=a4F7DEF’ or other hex crap, it is probably not going to work and may get your IP temporarily blocked.
