browser searchengine sap notes
hey guys,
I have created a guide for chrome and firefox to reach directly an sap note
** Update: launchpad adress **
google chrome
- go to settings – manage search engines – add a new search engine
- name SAPnotes / shortcut n / URL -> https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/%s
- name SAPkba / shortcut kba / URL -> https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/solutions/notesv2/?q=%s
- If you enter now your Shortcut like “n” and space you see “Search SAPNotes” and insert your note number
same with kba enter “kba” space you see “Search SAPkba” and enter your search string
mozilla firefox * updated*
- open your firefox. go to the SAP Support Launchpad
- right-click into the search field and “Add a Keyword for this Search…”
- I only used “n” for notes
- now you can insert n #notenumber in your adressbar
for KBA search on firefox open address https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/solutions/notesv2/?q=%s
- bookmark it at first.
- Show your bookmarks / Recently Bookmarked / Search result page | SAP Support Portal | / Properties
- add your keyword. in my example “k” and save.
Internet Explorer
** updated** my attached file was deleted by SAP. – Please change the URLS see other browsers.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\kba]
@=”https://support.sap.com/content/sap-root/search-result-page.html?search=%s”
“Winaero_namevalue”=”SAP KBA”
” “=”+”
“%”=”%25”
“#”=”%23”
“?”=”%3F”
“&”=”%26”
“+”=”%2B”
“,”=”%3D”
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\n]
@=”https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/%s”
“Winaero_namevalue”=”SAP Notes ”
” “=”+”
“%”=”%25”
“#”=”%23”
“?”=”%3F”
“&”=”%26”
“+”=”%2B”
“,”=”%3D”
copy this text in notepad and save it as *.reg file and open it with double-click / YES
I’ve created this registry entries with the tool “IESearchCustomizer”
An entry will be created under “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl with the Name “n” and “kba”. Restart your IE.
Now you can type into the adress bar “n NOTENUMBER” – for example “n 123456” or “kba SEARCH STRING” – for example: “kba kernel error”
have fun

Thanks Steffen. This is quicker than going to marketplace.
What about searching for a note by search string when you do not know the number?
Hey Achim, nice idea! i will update my note soon 😉
on chrome or internet explorer we can use as URL
https://support.sap.com/content/sap-root/search-result-page.html?search=%s
so create a new shortcut like "kba" and then enter your search string 🙂
Super, that's what I was looking for! Thanks!
