Tip: If you use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine, you'll like "bangs", which are short codes starting with ! that you insert in the search. It'll redirect to search somewhere else instead of DDG.
Right in Safari’s search bar you can add
!a – to search Amazon
!g – to search Google instead just this once
!amaps – to search Apple Maps
!qr – to create a QR Code from the search text
!w – to search Wikipedia
and MANY more. Thousands of possibilities. Try some.
