||Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on the Mozilla Firefox - Search and Auto-complete features.

||In this tutorial, we will learn how to -Use Search, Manage Search Engines, Use the Find bar,  

||Use Auto-complete in the Address bar

||In this tutorial, we will use Firefox version 7.0 on Ubuntu 10.04

||After all, search engines are websites too!

||In the URL bar, type ‘www.google.com’.

||The google home page comes up.

||In the search box  of the google home page, type ‘email’ .Click Search.

||We see that the top result is for g mail, the email from google.

||But there is an easier way to do the same thing with Mozilla Firefox.  

||Next to the URL bar on the navigation toolbar, there is a Search bar  field.

||Alternately, you can press CTRL+K to directly go to the Search bar  field.  

||We see that the top result is for gmail, the email from google.

||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.

||But we need not be constrained by this. We can choose the search engine of our choice.

||Click on the google’s search engine logo within the Search bar.

||We notice that a drop down box appears with the logos of most popular search engines, including “Yahoo” and “Bing”.

||Select “Yahoo” from the drop down box.  

||Now lets type ‘email’ again in the Search bar and click the magnifying glass.

||This time we see that the results in the Contents area are from the “Yahoo” search engine.

||The top result is no longer gmail. Instead the top result is “Yahoo” mail.

||Click on the search engine logo within the Search bar again.

||In the drop down box,  select ‘Manage Search Engines’.

||This opens a dialog box entitled ‘Manage Search Engine list'.

||The buttons on the right side are now enabled. Click on the ‘Remove’ button.

||Click on OK to close the dialog box.

||Click on the search engine logo within the Search bar again.

||The “Manage Search Engines list" dialog box pops up.

||At the bottom of the dialog is a link that say ‘Get more search engines…’.

||Click on it  

 

||A new browser tab opens.

||You can add any of the search engines according to your requirement.  

||Lets close this tab by clicking on the x at the corner of the tab.

||We can find specific text which is within the Contents area with the help of the “Find bar”.

||In the URL bar, type ‘www.gmail.com’ and press Enter.

||When the gmail home page has loaded, click on ‘Edit’ and then on ‘Find’.

||A “Find bar” appears at the bottom of the browser window.  

||In the text box of the “Find bar”, type ‘gmail’.  

||As we type, we see that the first instance of that text, is being highlighted in the Contents area.  

||Clicking on ‘Next’ will move the focus to the next instance of the word.

||Clicking on ‘Previous’ will move the focus to the previous instance of the word.

||Click on ‘Highlight all’ option.

||We see that all instances of the search text are highlighted in the Contents area.

||Mozilla Firefox makes it easy to type web addresses in the URL bar with its auto-complete function.  

||Try this:In the address bar type ‘gma’.  

||It brings up a drop down list with websites that start with ‘gma’.

||Choose the ‘gmail’ link from the drop down list.

||The ‘gmail’ webpage loads in the Contents area.

||Click on “Edit” and then on “Preferences”.

||Windows users can click on “Tools” and then on “Options”.

||Choose the “Privacy” tab from the list of Main menu tabs.  

||At the very bottom of the dialog box, is an option named ‘When using location bar, suggest’.  

||Click on the arrow of  the drop down list to expand it.

||Select ‘Nothing’ from the list.

||Click on ‘Close’ to close the dialog box.

||Lets go back to the address bar and type ‘gma’. Notice that no suggestions come up.
