2. Click the button that says “I’ll be careful, I promise!”

4. Now, double click “keyword.URL” and Enter your favorite Search Engine’s Search query string, oh! wait, what exactly is the search string, that’s damn simple
5. Here’s an example, go to www.google.com and enter a search query, something like “Hai”, you don’t have to bother about the search results, but just look at the address bar you will find some thing like
https://www.google.com/search?q=
now the above string is your search query string for www.google.co.in
