Keyword Search is free for both macOS and iOS. No longer will you have to maintain a separate text file of your shortcuts, to reimport them on each new device it’s automatic. Now that it’s available on multiple platforms, Keyword Search has one more trick up its sleeve: iCloud syncing. Now to being my muscle memory retraining.

Having suffered for years without the option to use this on my iPhone and iPad, I’m delighted to finally have it. The latest version brings the extension to iOS for the first time, thanks to iOS 15’s new web extensions support, and it works just as well as it does on the Mac. (Yes, Apple does offer a Quick Website Search feature that’s similar, but I have generally preferred Keyword Search’s way of doing things.) You can also define your own shortcuts, so, for example, I’ve defined “sc” as a Google search limited to, which helps me quickly turn up articles here-in fact, I used it to find that piece I just linked to above. For example, you could type “imdb George Clooney” to be taken directly to the IMDb search results for George Clooney, or “w iPhone 13” to go straight to the Wikipedia page for the iPhone 13. Safari Keyword Search is a little tool that allows you to define shortcuts for searching specific sites. Doing this will take you to the Safari Extensions section of the App Store. Here, scroll down and tap on Extensions located under the General section as shown below. In the settings menu, scroll down and tap on Safari to manage its settings. Now that extension has been updated to version 2.0 and is embarking on a whole new territory: iOS. Head over to Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
