I have a ‘Web internet location’ item named “BricksLabs Announcement” in a group called “Bookmarks” in my “Main” database.
Is there a way to press a global hotkey like F2 to get a search box where I can begin typing announ.., see the above item and press command-enter to open it in its default handling app (in this case, the default browser)?
I tried the Raycast extension but it doesn’t show the result until I type announcement fully.
You can use search operators and prefixes in the raycast extension. So you could use a wildcard instead of typing the full word, i.e. ann*.
That’s probably not quite what you’re looking for, but give it a try.
You could use an app that expands text. Then an abbreviation of your choice will be enough..
You’re welcome, I’m glad it helps 
Depending on your databases, a query like anno* might be too broad.
You can basically use the full query syntax in the Raycast extension, but I don’t know how much you want to type. I got the impression you were looking for something that searched item names only, with fuzzy search, for super quick input and retrieval.
You could use a text expander like Frank suggests. Example:
The contains operator might work better for you than appending a wildcard, i.e.
name:~{cursor}.
Depends on how you search.
