My trick which I use to sound really smart in IRC when people ask 
questions was to add a Search Engine to Chrome with a keyword 
which uses a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search on dlang.org.

If you go into Chrome's Settings then Manage Search Engines you 
can scroll to the bottom of the list and add a new one.

I added one with these settings:

Name:    D
Keyword: d
URL:     http://www.google.com/search?q=site:dlang.org+%s&btnI

Whenever I want to look something up I just go to my search/url 
bar and type "d <whatever>" and it takes me directly what I'm 
looking for in less than a second. It searches the main site and 
the forums so it even works with discussion topics. You can add 
another keyword search that doesn't use "I'm Feeling Lucky" for 
cases where it takes you to the wrong page or you want a results 
list.

Name:    D (google search)
Keyword: dg
URL:     http://www.google.com/search?q=site:dlang.org+%s

Firefox supports keyword searches too (though I can't remember 
how to set them up, I think you use a bookmark or something).
