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’ and 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 the 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. |
