How to use it

From the address bar

Type s, press Space or Tab, then start typing a shortcut name and press Enter.

The space or tab is what hands the address bar over to Search Picker. Typing s/name straight in will not work: the browser has no way to know the slash was meant for an extension, so it treats the whole thing as a search. That is why shortcuts are written sname here rather than s/name: the box is the space bar.

To use one of your own search engines, type its keyword and then your query, for example g some words.

From any page

Press Ctrl+Shift+Y to open the picker over the page you are on, or click the Search Picker icon in the toolbar to save the current page as a shortcut.

If a keyboard shortcut does nothing, another extension has probably claimed it. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts to see whether it is assigned, and set your own if not.

Your search engines

A search engine is a shortcut that takes something with it. Put %q in the URL where the search term belongs, and then typing its keyword followed by your words searches that site straight from the address bar.
