Do You KNow The Keyboard Command To Get To Google's Search Box?
This is a very short and sweet Google Search Tips post.
Did you know that you can get into the search box on Google's results page simply by hitting your "/" key?
This is the best tip I've found for years!
How To Use The Backspace Key To Get Into The Search Box ON Google
There is absolutely nothing to this tip.
If you have visited Google and made a search, from anywhere in the results window simply hit the forward slash key which looks like this: / . That will put your curser back into the search box immediately.
That alone is amazing, however what is even better is it puts the curser at the end of your current search so you can simply backspace to make any changes.
It works from anywhere on the page so if you are scrolled to the very bottom and hit / - you are straight away back inside the search box.
You can thank me later! Actually thank me now and leave a comment if that helps you!

About Jenny
I started my IT career in Database Administration and .Net coding. While I LOVED that work, I realised very quickly that I also wanted a life. To be a top end coder or DB Admin, you have to comit your downtime to constantly learning and evolving and while that is also something I love, I wanted it to be my work and not my life. So I morphed my love of design with my knowledge of all things SEO and moved into building small business websites.
Why small business websites? I'm a small business myself and I know how hard it can be so I wanted to give my clients a great service, with an approachable point of contact where no question was a "stupid question".
