I read a post on the blog called Blogos about setting up a quicksearch in Firefox to do lookups in the ESV by keyword/verse from the address bar (e.g., type “esv 1Ti 1.4” in the address bar). So I thought I'd share how to look up Apostolic Fathers stuff via my Apostolic Fathers lookup tool as well (form interface available too). The below instructions are for Firefox. You can do the same thing in IE via the “Quicksearch” feature; I just don't remember how to set that up.

  • Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks
  • Click the “New Bookmark...” button (they really need a space after the ellipses in the buttons)
  • Name: Apostolic Fathers Lookup
  • Location: http://www.supakoo.com/rick/af.asp?af=%s&lang=both+
  • Keyword: af
  • Description: af [ref] to look up passage in Apostolic Fathers in parallel English and Greek
  • Example: af mpoly 12.1-2

I use stuff like this all the time. “g” for google (e.g. “g ricoblog”); “mw” to look up words in Merriam Webster's dictionary (m-w.com). You get the picture.

If you understand Web Linking and the LDLS, you can also set up stuff to open Bibles in the LDLS from the address bar.

Enjoy!
