Setting Alias - (Advance)
Alias can be very useful if used to access the search box on that page.
You can directly type the search word in the address bar following the keyword.

1) Visit your favorite site, for e.g.
http://www.mapsofindia.com/
2) Right click in the search bar and choose Add a keyword for this search…
3) Type the keyword “maps”

Now to search for mumbai map
type
maps mumbai
in the address bar.
