This will search for the phrase you typed by using your default search provider.

NOTE: Press Ctrl+E to quickly put your cursor in the search box.

Searching From the Address Bar
Type Find, Go, or ? followed by your search criteria (keyword, website name, or phrase), and then press Enter. This will quickly search the Internet using your default search provider and display the results in the current window. If you want the search results to display in a new tab, press Alt+Enter after typing the phrase. (You can search from the Address bar without pre pending the query with find, go or ?, however if you search for a website address i.e. www.linxdata.net without the opening find, go or ? Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 will simply take you to the web address instead of performing your search).

Searching within a Site
Type the search term you're looking for followed by site: and the address of the website you want to search to narrow the search to that specific site.

For example, to search www.linxdata.net for information about website design, type "website design site: www.linxdata.net". Use a specialty search engine or provider, such as MSN Image search, to look for pictures. Many websites offer their own special searches for anything from shopping to hobbies.
