Double time + google searches for Dorico help

My own strategy for finding things in the most up-to-date version of the documentation is to use a custom search URL with a shortcut in my browser.

In Firefox, for example, the procedure would be as follows:

  1. Go to a page in the current docs; at the time of writing that is e.g. here.
  2. Right-click in the Search documentation field at the top of the page.
  3. From the context menu, choose Add a Keyword for this Search.
  4. In the little dialog that appears, enter something short and pithy into the Keyword field. I used two letters: dh.

Now when you want to search the documentation specifically, you can simply type into your browser’s address bar, e.g.

dh add dynamics

which will take you directly to these search results.

This is possible in other browsers as well, but the procedure is slightly different. E.g. here is how to do it in Chrome, and here for Safari.
