Step One:
|
Type the URL of the website you’d like to add into the address bar.
Hit Enter.
When you arrive at the site, locate the search box and start a search.
I’ve chosen Burmese Mountain Dogs.
Hit the Search button.
|
Step Two:
|
You’ll then be taken to a page with the search results.
Go to the address bar and notice that the term you searched for
is in the address. I’ve highlighted mine and it begins
with "Burmese".
Copy everything that comes before your search term.
|
Step Three:
|
Go to the Search box in the Research-Desk Professional browser and
click on the drop down list.
Choose the option Define Search Shortcuts.
|
Step Four:
|
A Research-Desk preference box will pop up and you will see a
list of Search shortcuts.
To add your own, click on the last entry in the list. Another
line will appear for you to add your own.
Go over to the third column (URL) and paste in the URL you
copied from step 2.
After the '=' sign:
- Add {A}
- And hit Enter. It is very important to hit Enter or
Return after each step. Otherwise your entry will NOT be saved.
|
Step Five:
|
Use the scroll bar to fill in the Name and Shortcut columns.
Shortcuts are what you type into your address bar and they take
you directly to the website. For example, when you type "ask Burmese
mountain dogs" in Research-Desk’s address bar and press Enter, it automatically
searches for the phrase "Burmese mountain dogs" using Ask Jeeves.
It is important to make sure you hit Enter after each column you type.
Otherwise the entry will not be saved.
Then hit OK and your search website will be saved.
Now you when you go to the Research-Desk Professional browser,
Ask Jeeves will be included in the Search list. And you can
Search directly from your browser.
And it will be programmed as an address bar shortcut.
Here’s what the Search Box will now look like:
Here’s what an address bar shortcut will now look like:
After you type in the shortcut and your search terms, hit Enter
and you’ll be taken to the results.
Note- Do not type in Http or www. The address bar
shortcut will not work if you type in HTTP or www.
