Top  Previous  Next     ESTsoft Corp.

There are a couple different shortcut methods to make like easier for you.

You can use shortcuts to navigate to web sites or to use a specific search engine for a search. All shortcuts are predefined. Shortcuts can be entered into the Search Bar or into your browser address bar.

Search Engine Shortcuts

Search engine shortcuts let you choose a search engine other than the selected one. This is most useful when you want to search with search engine A for most of your searches, but you prefer search engine B for other searches.

To use a search engine shortcut:

1. Enter the predefined search engine shortcut into the Search bar (or address bar) followed by your search keywords
2. Press Enter or click Go

You are taken to the search engine results page for your chosen engine and keywords.
