Keyboard-only usage of Google Search

Question

How can I perform a Google search without using the mouse?

I want to be able to:

• type in the search term and start the search ( possible already since I use a browser search bar );
• navigate through the results ( ideally also between pages );
• open the result page ( bonus points for opening in a new window );

Answer 1

If you want a native solution, you could enable the Google Labs feature, Keyboard shortcuts.

Here are the shortcuts you wanted:

• /: Puts the cursor in the search box.
• J and K: Selects the next/previous result.
• O or Enter: Opens the selected result.

This is not from Google, but uses Google Search. Try Keyboardr
