Searching the Web
Searching for web pages on a particular topic is as easy as typing a few words into Firefox 1.5's Search Bar as pictured below:

For example, if you want to find information about baby dolls:

  1. Click in the Search Bar.
  2. Type the phrase baby doll. Your typing replaces any text currently in the search bar.
  3. Hit Enter/Return to search.

Search results for "baby doll" appear in the Firefox 1.5 window.

TIP: TIP: You can click on the Search Engine icon to choose another Search Engine. You can also switch between installed Search Engines by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+Up Arrow and Ctrl/Cmd+Down Arrow. There are Search Engines which search the whole web like Google; others only search specific sites like Amazon.com. Select Add Engines... to install additional Search Engines.
