On one of the early versions of ZenOss, I right-clicked on the search for device field and I added it as a keyword search, and now I type z <host> in my URL and it jumps directly to the server inside zenoss.
You can re-generate it by making a small z.html file on any apache and go there with your browser and follow the instructions there..
My z.html looks like below, except ZENOSS-HOST is changed to the hostname of zenoss:
<html><head>
<title>ZenOss Device</title>
</head>
<body>
Does not work with all browsers. Known to work with firefox and Opera.
<br/>
<br/>
Richt click in field and select 'add keyword for this search'.
<form method=POST action=http://ZENOSS-HOST:8080/zport/dmd/deviceSearchResults>
<input name=query>
<br/><br/>
Name: <b>Search Zenoss</b><br/>
Folder: Use default<br/>
Keyword: <b>z</b><br/>
<b>Click save</b><br/>
<br/>
<br/>Type <b>z hostname</b> in your browser to search for hostname
<br/>
</body>
</html>
