Quick Search the Apex and VF Deverloper's Guides

I find myself frequently accessing the HTML version of the Apex and VF Dev Guides. A simple shortcut wasn't cutting it anymore - I wanted to pop-open the page and search all in one step.

Within Firefox, create two bookmarks:
1) http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/index.htm?%s
2) http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index.htm?%s

Right-click on the book marks, choose properties, and update the "Keyword" box with "vf" or "apex" accordingly.

Now within the URL bar of FF, you can type something like "apex outbound" or "vf commandbutton" to quickly pull up the reference material.




For Chrome, Jeff Douglas has an excellent tool, here: http://blog.jeffdouglas.com/force-com-utility-belt/
