1. What Are Chrome Search Bookmarks? A search bookmark (often called a “keyword search”) in Google Chrome allows you to type a short custom keyword in the address bar (omnibox), followed by a search term, and be taken directly to the search results page of a specific website.
You assign the keyword yt to YouTube search. In the address bar, type: yt cats playing piano → Press Enter → You land directly on YouTube’s search results for “cats playing piano.”
Search bookmarks — lightweight, private, and instantly available. 7. Backing Up & Syncing Your Search Bookmarks Since search bookmarks are regular bookmarks, they sync across devices if you enable Chrome Sync (Settings → Sync and Google services → Sync everything or Bookmarks).
