Firefox keyword for jump-to-docs.rs

1

docs.rs supports a button called I am feeling lucky.

What's the point of that?

  • If there is a crate with that exact name it skips the search result page and jumps directly to the documentation
  • We can add a keyword search in Firefox for this, so that we can jump directly to API docs for any crate

in Firefox, create a new bookmark:

  • URL: https://docs.rs/releases/search?query=%s&i-am-feeling-lucky=1
  • Keyword: docs (or something else you pick)

Example use:

  • Enter docs memchr into the location bar and press return
  • You navigate to memchr - Rust directly

:heart: docs.rs!
