Tips for using Explorer:
| Store information locally |
| Internet Explorer's off-line
browsing capability lets you keep important reference information
without going online. Choose Favorites>Add to Favorites>Make
available offline. Press the customize button to choose what
you would like to store and how often to update it. When you pull
down the favorites menu, you will see the off-line favorites
marked with a red dot. You can choose these pages, not be
online and get whatever portions of the page you had asked
to download. |
| Change your home page
location |
| by choosing Tools, Internet Options to see the
Internet Options dialog box. Click the General tab and type the
URL in the Home page Address box. |
| Search tips -
|
- common words and characters are generally
ignored such as "where" and "how". If a common word is
essential to getting the results you want, you can include it by
putting a "+" sign in front of it. For example try searching for
'how to search'. You will get a listing of search engines
because how to is ignored. If you type '+how to search' you will
get a list of websites which will explain the best and fastest
methods of finding the information you need.
- Search for complete phrases by enclosing
them in quotation marks. Words enclosed in double quotes ("like
this") will appear together in all results exactly as you have
entered them.
To quickly find where on webpage your search
term is listed. Use the find command of internet explorer.
From the Edit menu, click on find and follow these steps
- Think of some text you want to find.
- Choose Edit, Find.
- Type the text you want to find.
- Click the Find Next button to start the search.
