I use FF 2 & 3 and I created a bookmark that simply had a keyword
assigned to it.
Bookmark properties are as follows:
Name: PHP.net
Location: http://www.php.net/%s
Keyword: php
Description: Type "php <search term>" in the address bar
to perform a PHP.net search
Not sure if you can do this with other browsers, but I have found it to
be very useful.
