Add Search Shortcuts on your Android or iPhone
Add Search Shortcuts on your Android or iPhone
There�s an alternate way as well. You may consider installing search shortcuts on the home screen of your mobile phone and they will help you perform searches on your favorite website with fewer steps.
Search your favorite websites with a tap
Open the Safari browser on your iPhone (or iPad) and click here to open the search shortcut for Wolfram Alpha. A pop-up dialog will open but since we are installing the shortcut, hit the Cancel button to close that dialog. Now tap the Share icon in Safari and choose �Add to Home Screen� to add that search shortcut to your home screen.
The next time you want to search Wolfram on your phone, tap the Wolfram shortcut available on your home screen, enter the search terms and it will take you directly to the search results on the Wolfram website. That�s just one tap.
You can similarly add search shortcuts on your Android device using the newer version of Chrome browser. Open any of the search shortcuts listed below, �cancel� the pop-up dialog and then choose the �Add to homescreen� option under the main menu to place a shortcut on your homescreen for quick access.

A search shortcut is essentially a little piece of JavaScript, much like a bookmarklet, that accepts input through a pop-up dialog and redirects the user to the search results page.
