How URLettes Work

A URLette lets you query popular internet services with just a few keystrokes. Each letter in the alphabet maps to a service — type that letter, then your search, and go.

Quick Start

  1. Type or click a URLetter — for example g for Google, w for Wikipedia, y for YouTube
  2. The letter fills in the URLette field and your query box gets focus
  3. Type your search query
  4. Press Enter, click Go, or click the generated link above the inputs

Direct Subdomain Access

You can also use URLettes directly in your browser address bar. Just type:

g.kmz.me/your+search — searches Google for "your search"

w.kmz.me/Eiffel_Tower — opens the Wikipedia article

y.kmz.me/cat+videos — searches YouTube

Replace the letter with any available URLetter to search a different service.

How It's Built

URLettes use Apache virtual host redirects on the wildcard *.kmz.me domain. No secrets — documented on GitHub.
