HOWCURIO PRACTICE · LOCAL URL BUILDER

See what a search shortcut sends

Choose a fixed public search template and enter a term. The builder replaces its single %s with an encoded query. It does not change Chrome settings, search your account, or contact the destination until you click “Open this search.”

Your template

Constructed URL

Typing and building stay in this page. Clicking the link sends the term to the selected website, whose own privacy rules apply. Avoid names, account details, and other private information.

Try a revealing query

Compare C++ & café with C++. The plus signs and ampersand belong to the query: encoding prevents them from turning into spaces or another URL parameter.

These are fixed HTTPS templates; there is no arbitrary URL field, storage or automatic request. This tests a constructed destination URL, not a saved Chrome omnibox shortcut. Chrome’s official site-search setup instructions.
