Copy your individual link
Paste your link
In your address bar type in chrome://settings/searchEngines and scroll down to site search. Press on add and fill out the form. The
first field name specifies the display name when the
shortcut is selected or about to be. The field shortcut specifies the shortcut you have to type to be
able to search. In the url field you paste the copied link.
Execute your first omnibox search
In this case swt is specified as an abbreviation for
the course "Softwaretechnik II". The name of the custom site search
is Ilias and the shortcut is i.
This app lets you generate a custom link that you can add to the site search configuration of your browser. After that you can enter a custom keyword in your omnibox followed by a search query. This search query will redirect you to one of your Ilias courses. The query can either be an exact match with a previously specified abbreviation or a prefix of a course name. All data is stored in your custom link. The API just redirects based on the query.
For me and all other KIT students using a chromium based browser wanting to have omnibox search query shortcuts to their ilias course pages.
