I hit MSDN a lot to look up documentation. Since I typically use Firefox which does not have an MSDN option in the search box I wanted to create another quick way to search MSDN. Below is a bit of Javascript which you can save on 1 line as a bookmark. This is commonly called a bookmarklet. It will prompt you for your search terms and then take you to the results.

Search MSDN [save this bookmark]

javascript:var query=prompt('Enter MSDN Search: ','');
if(query){document.location.href='http://search.msdn.microsoft.com' +
'/search/default.aspx?query='+query;}
