4. Copy the edited URL to the clipboard, then invoke LaunchBar (the default shortcut is Command-Space).

5. Click on the little gear icon on the right and navigate to Index -> Show Index.

6. In the sidebar on the left, click on 'Search Templates (UTF-8),' and then on the Add button at the bottom of the pane on the right.
