The search bar is the heart of Celerity. Open any new tab, start typing, and Celerity instantly resolves your input — navigating to a URL, launching a shortcut, searching within a site, or falling back to Google — all without touching the mouse. ## Opening and closing the search bar Any character keypress on a new tab page opens the search bar and places the character you typed directly into the input field. Celerity will not intercept keystrokes while a modal (settings, help, feedback, or confirmation) is open, or while the cursor is already inside a text input or editable element. Press Escape at any time to close the search bar and return to the shortcut grid. > [!NOTE] > > The settings, help, and feedback buttons in the top-right corner are hidden while the search bar is open. They reappear when you close it. ## How Celerity resolves your input When you press Enter, Celerity evaluates your input in a fixed priority order: **1. Direct URL** If your input looks like a URL (e.g. `github.com` or `https://example.com`), Celerity navigates there immediately. A missing `https://` prefix is added automatically — you never need to type the protocol. **2. Exact shortcut key** If your input exactly matches a shortcut key (e.g. `g`), Celerity opens that shortcut's site. **3. Shortcut key + space + query** If your input is a shortcut key followed by a space and a query (e.g. `y lofi music`), Celerity performs a site-specific search by substituting your query into that shortcut's `searchTemplate`. The delimiter between the key and the query is always a single space. **4. Google fallback** If none of the above match, Celerity sends your input to Google Search: `https://www.google.com/search?q={}`. ## Live autocomplete suggestions As you type, Celerity fetches up to **4** autocomplete suggestions and displays them below the input field. When you are typing a site-specific search (e.g. `y lo`), each suggestion is automatically prefixed with the shortcut key so selecting it triggers a site search rather than a web search. ### Navigating suggestions The available navigation keys depend on whether focus is on the text input or on a suggestion item. **From the text input:** | Action | Keys | | - | - | | Move to next suggestion | ↓ Tab Ctrl+N | | Move to previous suggestion | ↑ Shift+Tab Ctrl+P | **From a focused suggestion:** | Action | Keys | | - | - | | Next suggestion | ↓ → Tab Ctrl+N | | Previous suggestion | ↑ ← Shift+Tab Ctrl+P | | Select focused suggestion | Enter or click | | Return focus to input | Navigate past the first or last suggestion | > [!TIP] > > ← and → are only available for suggestion navigation once a suggestion item is already focused. From the text input, use ↓ / ↑, Tab / Shift+Tab, or Ctrl+N / Ctrl+P to move into the suggestions list. ## Example inputs The table below shows common inputs and what Celerity does with each one. | Input | Result | | - | - | | `g` | Opens Gmail inbox | | `y javascript tutorial` | Searches YouTube for "javascript tutorial" | | `gh react` | Searches GitHub for "react" | | `s lofi hip hop` | Searches Spotify for "lofi hip hop" | | `github.com` | Navigates to `https://github.com` | | `what is rust lang` | Google search for "what is rust lang" | ## URL navigation Type any bare domain or full URL and press Enter — Celerity recognises the pattern and navigates directly without treating it as a search. The URL regex matches hostnames with optional ports and paths: ``` github.com → https://github.com docs.example.com/api → https://docs.example.com/api https://localhost:3000 → https://localhost:3000 ``` `https://` is prepended automatically unless a protocol is already present. Any scheme is accepted (including `ftp://` and `chrome://`), so custom browser URLs pass through unchanged.
