How can I add Wolfram Alpha to search bar in Chrome?

I want to send queries to Wolfram Alpha real fast. I've been using "wiki query" from search bar for ages, how can I search on WA?

Solution

  • Ultimately I found the solution myself, but it took me some time and I had to devise the solution myself, since all Google searches returned the extension which I wanted to avoid. Here it is.

    1. Right click the address bar and click "Edit search engines..."
      (or open "Settings -> Search -> Manage search engines...")
    2. Usually, you can find all recognized search engines you used already listed there, but if not, add this: (*use any keyword of your choice)
      enter image description here

    The query URL: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%s

    Now it is possible to use wa query from search bar to search on Wolfram Alpha. Note, this method allows you to use any search engine.
