9to5Google spotted a neat update to Google’s search engine on desktop: a handy keyboard shortcut to return your cursor to the search box, so you can edit your query or enter a new one.

Say you’re on Google.com, and you enter a search term. After the results load, simply hit the / key to focus on the search box, and you can resume typing in there right away.

That’s it, thanks for reading.
