 You
just have to find out! Why is
grass green? Where do fruit
flies come from? What is the
meaning of life? Well, don't ask
me! I'm just a monitor! You'll
have to go search for your
answers on the Internet. Lucky
for you, Internet Explorer 5
makes searching a snap. This
crafty browser is hooked up to
nine different searching sites.
Or, as Webbies would say,
"search engines". In IE5, one of
these search engines is never
more than a finger-tap away. |

The World Wide Web contains a huge
amount of information on just about
anything and everything. There are many
ways to search for this information and
IE5's Search Button makes it really easy
to find what you're seeking. All you do
is type in what you're searching for,
and you'll get a list of links that will
take you to the information you want.
To search for information using the
Search Button:
1) Click the Search Button on
the toolbar. The Search window opens
on the left side of the screen.
2) Click the Find a Web page
radio button at the top. A one-line
search box appears.
3) Click in the search box and
then type "classroom tutorials" - or
whatever it is you want to find.
4)
Click the Search button. A list of
possible matches appears in the
window.
5)
Click on one of the matches. The Web
site appears in the main IE5 window.
The list of links remains in the
Search window on the left.
6) To go to a different Web
site in the list, click another
match.
TIP: To start a new search, click
the New button in the Search window.

A search engine is a special Web site
designed for people who want to find
something on the World Wide Web. There
are lots of different search engines on
the Internet - and IE5 links to nine of
them. These nine search engines take
turns at being the featured
provider-of-the-day.

|
Everyone has their own personal
preferences - and you may find that you
prefer one search engine over all the
others. IE5 lets you choose your
favorite search engine and then use it
for all searches.
To change search engines:
1)
Click the Customize button in the
Search window. The Customize Search
Settings dialog box appears.
2) Click the radio button
labeled: "Use one search service for
all searches." The Choose the Search
Service drop-down box appears.
3)
Click on the search engine of your
choice.
4) Click OK on the Customize
Search Settings dialog box.

Imagine that you do a search and then
look at your list of returned links. You
click on one of the links and a Web site
downloads into the main IE5 window. The
site looks pretty interesting, but it's
not exactly what you were looking for.
You decide you want more information on
the same subject. IE5's Related Links
feature will give you a list of links to
Web sites that are similar to the one in
the main IE5 window.
To see a list of related links:
1)
Make sure you have a Web site in your
main IE5 window.
2) Click Tools on the Menu bar,
and choose Show Related Links. The
Search window opens on the left side
of the screen. Inside is a list of
related links.
3)
Click on a link to visit one of the
related Web sites. The new Web site
appears in the main IE5 window.
