00:00 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on the Mozilla Firefox - Search and Auto-complete features.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn how to -Use Search, manage Search Engines, use the Find bar,
00:15 Use Auto-complete in the Address bar.
00:18 In this tutorial, we will use Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04.
00:26 One of the most common things people do on the internet is to search for information.
00:31 One can search for a specific website or for some other information.
00:37 Mozilla Firefox has a number of functionalities that make it easy to search for information on the Internet.
00:44 Let’s look at some of the ways.
00:47 One way is to search by visiting other websites.
00:50 After all, search engines are websites too!
00:54 In the URL bar, type: ‘www.google.com’.
00:59 The google home page comes up.
01:01 In the search box of the google home page, type: ‘email’. Click Search.
01:07 The search engine brings up all the results.
01:10 We see that the top result is for g mail, the email from 'google'.
01:16 But, there is an easier way to do the same thing with Mozilla Firefox.
01:20 Next to the 'URL bar' on the navigation toolbar, there is a Search bar field.
01:26 Alternately, you can press Ctrl+K to directly go to the Search bar field.
01:33 Click on the search bar and type ‘email’.
01:36 Click the magnifying glass icon that is next to it.
01:40 We will see the results of the search in the contents area.
01:44 We see that the top result is for 'gmail', the email from 'google'.
01:50 On the left side of the 'Search bar', the logo of the search engine which has been used to bring up the results is seen.
01:58 The default search engine used in Mozilla Firefox is ‘google’.
02:02 But, we need not be constrained by this. We can choose the search engine of our choice.
02:08 Click on the google’s search engine logo within the Search bar.
02:12 We notice that a drop down box appears with the logos of most popular search engines, including “Yahoo” and “Bing”.
02:21 Select “Yahoo” from the drop down box.
02:24 We observe that the logo on the left of the search bar has now changed to the “Yahoo” logo.
02:30 Now, let's type ‘email’ again in the 'Search bar' and click the magnifying glass.
02:36 This time we see that the results in the Contents area are from the “Yahoo” search engine.
02:42 Observe that the results are slightly different from last time.
02:46 The top result is no longer 'gmail'. Instead, the top result is “Yahoo” mail.
02:53 Click on the search engine logo within the 'Search bar' again.
02:57 In the drop down box, select Manage Search Engines.
03:01 This opens a dialog box entitled ‘Manage Search Engine list'.
03:07 Click on the last item in the list.
03:10 The buttons on the right side are now enabled. Click on the Remove button.
03:16 We see that the item we chose is no longer on the list.
03:21 Click on OK to close the dialog box.
03:24 Click on the search engine logo within the 'Search bar' again.
03:29 Click on “Manage Search Engines”.
03:32 The “Manage Search Engines list" dialog box pops up.
03:37 At the bottom of the dialog is a link that says ‘Get more search engines…’.
03:42 Click on it.
03:43 A new browser tab opens.
03:46 It displays a number of search engines that we can add to the search bar.
03:51 You can add any of the 'search engines' according to your requirement.
03:55 Let's close this tab by clicking on the 'x' at the corner of the tab.
04:00 We can find specific text which is within the Contents area with the help of the “Find bar”.
04:07 In the URL bar, type: ‘www.gmail.com’ and press Enter.
04:13 When the 'gmail home page' has loaded, click on Edit and then on Find.
04:19 A Find bar appears at the bottom of the browser window.
04:22 In the text box of the “Find bar”, type: ‘gmail’.
04:28 As we type, we see that the first instance of that text is being highlighted in the Contents area.
04:36 Clicking on Next will move the focus to the next instance of the word.
04:41 Clicking on Previous will move the focus to the previous instance of the word.
04:46 Click on Highlight all option.
04:49 We see that all instances of the search text are highlighted in the Contents area.
04:56 Mozilla Firefox makes it easy to type web addresses in the 'URL bar' with its auto-complete function.
05:04 We don’t have to type the entire web address in the address bar.
05:08 Try this: In the 'address bar', type: ‘gma’.
05:12 We see that Mozilla Firefox tries to auto-complete the word we are typing.
05:17 It brings up a drop down list with websites that start with ‘gma’.
05:23 Choose the ‘gmail’ link from the drop down list.
05:27 The ‘gmail’ webpage loads in the 'Contents area'.
05:30 If we do not like this feature, we can turn it off.
05:34 Click on Edit and then on “Preferences”.
05:37 Windows users can click on “Tools” and then on “Options”.
05:41 Choose the “Privacy” tab from the list of Main menu tabs.
05:46 At the very bottom of the dialog box, is an option named ‘When using location bar, suggest’.
05:53 Click on the arrow of the drop down list to expand it.
05:56 Select 'Nothing' from the list.
05:59 Click on ‘Close’ to close the dialog box.
06:03 Let's go back to the 'address bar' and type ‘gma’. Notice that no suggestions come up.
06:09 This concludes this tutorial of Mozilla Firefox - Searching and Auto-complete features.
