+
+Open issues faster using browser search shortcuts
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+If you chat with engine developers outside of GitHub, you may encounter
+plain issue numbers like "issue #12345" in conversations, without a link.
+Rather than navigating the GitHub issue tracker to find the issue, you can
+add a custom search engine to your browser to open issues faster.
+
+For Chrome:
+
+1. Go to the search engine settings page using ``chrome://settings/searchEngines``.
+2. Scroll down to "Site search" in the lower middle of the page and click "Add".
+3. Fill in the form with name "Godot GitHub", shortcut "#", and URL ``https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/%s``.
+4. You can now type ``# 12345`` in the address bar to open issue #12345 (be sure to include the space).
+
+For Firefox, the instructions are similar, but the "Add" button is hidden by default, so it needs to be enabled first:
+
+1. Go to the ``about:config`` page.
+2. Type ``browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh`` in the search bar.
+3. Click the "+" button to add a new boolean with this name (it should say ``true``).
+4. Go to the search settings page using ``about:preferences#search``.
+5. Scroll down to the bottom to find "Search Shortcuts" and click "Add".
+6. Fill in the form with name "Godot GitHub", URL ``https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/%s``, and alias "#".
+7. You can now type ``# 12345`` in the address bar to open issue #12345 (be sure to include the space).
+
+The same shortcut works for both issues and PRs.
+For example, number 12345 itself is actually a PR, and so ``# 12345``
+will lead to ``https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/12345``.
