Since the first EAP of YouTrack Energy, we provide support for [OpenSearch|http://www.opensearch.org] format, which allows you searching in YouTrack right from the browser's address field.

{note}This feature is available in browsers which support OpenSearch: {toc}{note}

h1. YouTrack OpenSearch in Google Chrome

{note:title=Known Issue}In Google Chrome for URLs with the port number explicitly specified ({{'my-youtrack:8080'}}) using OpenSearch won't be suggested automatically. The workaround for the problem is typing just the server name ('my-youtrack'), skipping the port number, then the "Press Tab' suggestion will appear.{note}
# Press the Tab key, and type your search request:

# When you press Enter, you will be navigated to your search request results page:
