tantek.comHow to add MapQuest with a search shortcut to your Firefox:
1. open Firefox Preferences ("Firefox" menu, "Preferences" item)
2. select "🔍 Search" from the left column
3. click the [ + Add search engine ] button
4. enter "MapQuest" into the Search engine name field (without quotes)
5. enter "https://www.mapquest.com/search/%s" into the URL field (without quotes)
6. enter "m" into the Keyword field (without quotes)
If you already had an "m" search shortcut for another search engine, you may need to first edit that search engine (click the pencil ✏️ icon next to it) in the list of "Additional search engines", and remove/replace the existing "m" with something else.
Now when you want to look up something on a map, you can type an 'm ' (without the quotes) into the browser URL/adress bar, enter an address or venue name, press return and get a result in MapQuest.
