http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/%s.aspx

You can obviously also do something like:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/%s(loband).aspx

In case you need a refresher, here is how you add it:

  1. Click the wrench (top right).
  2. Options
  3. Basics (top)
  4. Manage (alongside “Default Search”)
  5. Add
  6. Give it a name and keyword (the keyword is important).
  7. Paste in my URL.

To use it go to your address bar and type the keyword, tab and then the full type name. So for example (my keyword was msdnd):

msdnd : [TAB] : system.xml.serialization.xmlelementattribute : [RETURN]
