May 31, 2022 at 10:53 comment added AncientSwordRage Sadly I can't run userscripts on my machine, but I could save this as a bookmarklet. I'd just have to run it every time I loaded a profile :/
May 31, 2022 at 9:52 comment added Glorfindel Mod Fair enough, but I don't think that would qualify as an answer, that's an upvote. Userscripts are commonly used by a group of power users; there's even a meme about it. But there are lots of reasons not to use them, I can see your point.
May 31, 2022 at 9:37 comment added bad_coder I'd be inclined to award the bounty on an answer stating simply: "yes, very desirable feature, shorter aliases could make search much simpler and convenient for the longer terms". Personally I find that kind of support more useful than a userscript that a lot of us (and perhaps most) won't really use.

May 31, 2022 at 9:29 comment added bad_coder Thanks but, I don't like all the overhead that involves plus running 3rd party apps of unknown origin (I could do it on my PC but certainly not on any of my work machines) so that's a no-go for me. I'm sorry but the FR is essentially about having a simpler alias in search, while that makes some users cry "bloody murder" it seems like a reasonable FR since search is Q&A "core business" so going 3rd party seems like an unreasonable demand on users.

May 31, 2022 at 9:26 comment added bad_coder Win 10 + Firefox, just to make sure I'm supposed to copy-paste into web dev tools > console?
May 31, 2022 at 9:24 comment added Glorfindel Mod @bad_coder eh ... that surprises me. Do other SE userscripts work for you? Which OS and browser?
May 31, 2022 at 9:22 comment added bad_coder My browser doesn't let me use this because apparently some elements are blocked...!?
