Apologies if you already know this. Sharing because if you're spending a lot of time searching a game wiki, this can be really convenient.
You can setup your browser for typing '@mistria juniper' would bring up the wiki search page for everything related to that character.
disclaimer: I think Chromium can do this too
If you are often referring to a wiki, you can temporarily add it as a search engine to your browser's internal location search bar.
With FireFox -> Settings -> Search -> "Add search engine" in the "Additional search engines"
I picked a random mistria wiki and the URL would be
https://fieldsofmistria.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:Search?search=%25s&go=Go&ns0=1for searching.For name '@mistria' should be unique enough.
I got that by typing "test" in the search box to get this "https://fieldsofmistria.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:Search?search=Test&go=Go&ns0=1" just swap out the 'Test' for '%s'
Now press ctrl + l to focus on the location/search bar and type "@mistria juniper" to get an in wiki search results for everything related to that character.
One exception. if the url has something like 'nonce=a4F7DEF' or other hex crap, it is probably not going to work and may get your IP temporarily blocked.
Custom searches are awesome! There might be an even easier way:
With Firefox, most of the time, you can right-click a web page's search box and choose "Add Search Engine," and you'll get a box allowing you to give the search a name and a search bar keyword. Which you can edit later with Settings -> Search if needed.
Great suggestion and it works more often than not.
