I use [OpenDNS](http://opendns.com/) for DNS resolution (the way domain names match up to websites) on my home and office networks. My favorite feature is their [URL Shortcuts](http://www.opendns.com/features/shortcuts/). I have a bunch of them set up to quickly search various sites I use often:

Keyword | Website
———:| ——-
**g** | Google Search
**gi** | Google Image Search
**gm** | Google Maps
**wiki** | Wikipedia
**imdb** | Internet Movie Database
**dict** | Dictionary.com
**esv** | ESV Bible
**gl** | Google “I’m Feeling Lucky” Search
**cache** | Google Cache (just found this one [here](http://www.google.com/mozilla/google-search.html)!)

The idea is that you can type something like ‘[esv gal 5 1](http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=gal%205%201)’ or ‘[wiki cumberland valley](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumberland_Valley)’ and be taken to the appropriate page, bypassing several pages you’d normally have to navigate through, like search results.

I was having trouble today with the next-to-last one on that list: the “I’m Feeling Lucky” search. But it looks like they fixed it while I was writing this post. Unless I clicked the actual “I’m Feeling Lucky” button on their front page, Google was just taking me to a search results page, even if I pasted in the google.com url I was redirected to for a split second.

I save a lot of time using these shortcuts. If you don’t use them already, why don’t you [start now](http://www.opendns.com/start/)?
