A method and apparatus for shortcut sets to data sources, such as web
sites, is disclosed. The shortcut sets may be associated with a
controlled environment. A controlled environment might be a home,
corporation, business, etc. As an example, an information technology (IT)
manager configures shortcuts for the employees of the company. As another
example, a family member configures shortcuts that are common to all
family members, when at home. A user may enter a shortcut into a search
box of a web browser to be directed to a data source. If the shortcut
indicates a search at the data source is desired, then a search is
automatically performed at the data source.
