We were looking for a simple way to search a web site from a specific path, not just from the root. For example, www.strava.com/athletes. Google supports this by using the syntax "site:https://www.strava.com/athletes {search_term}", but rather than have to type that in each time, I created a bookmarklet that does the same thing, and more.
- Go to the page you want to search from.
- Click the bookmarklet you installed from below.
- Enter your search term at the prompt.
- From the Google results page, you can click the bookmarklet again to change the search term: no need to go back to the prior page.
