goto.my Extension

goto.my is a simple extension that lets you define custom keywords that will navigate you to websites. If it can't understand where you're trying to go, it will optionally paste those keywords in a URL and redirect you there.

Unlike the default Omnibox search, goto.my:

- Has fuzzy matching ('tfts' will match 'talesfromtechsupport', and 'rpogramming' will match 'programming')

- Allows you to specify what keywords map to what websites ('snoo' can navigate you to 'https://reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport')

- *Requires* you to specify what keywords map to what websites (a one-off search for \"hold mail\" won't kick mail.provider.com from the top of your list)

- Doesn't learn over time (so typing 'snoo' now should get you to the same place as typing 'snoo' in a year)

- If your query didn't match anything, goto.my will paste it in whatever URL you want, without changing your default search provider (great for internal DNS in the format of 'foo/website_name', or 'https://website_name.part1.aws.part2.ilikeverbosity.lan')
