Create Your Own Searchable Links      

 

A. Open the Customize menu, select a Tab from the pull-down menu list of Tabs or add a new Tab.

B. Select Add Link and enter a name for the new Link. Hint: To   help you remember which links are searchable, use the word “Search” in the name of the link. E.g. Google Search or Yahoo! Search.

C. Enter the search code into the file path field of the Edit window, replacing the portion of the code string that relates to searchable text with the search code “:word:” (word with a colon on either  side of it).

1. One fairly easy way to determine what the code should be and what to replace with the search code is to run a search on the website you intend to establish as a searchable link. Search on that site for the search term “word”. After the search is done, copy    the code string from the Internet browser address bar into the     file path field of the Edit window. Where you see the term “word”  in the file path, replace it with “:word:”. This will allow you to automatically execute a search on that site by entering the word through the DoGoNow™ interface.

2. For even more advanced users, advanced custom searches may be performed through standard search engines by adding one or more additional default search terms to the editable search terms   of the above search code. Do this by performing a search on the  site that includes one or more terms that you want to remain standard in future searches in addition to the editable search term you will replace with the term “:word:” as in 1 above. Copy the  code string and paste it into the file path field of the Edit window. Replace the term you want to be editable with the term “:word:”  as in 1 above. When the search is run, any text in the search window will be searched in addition to the default terms.

Tip 1: Create a searchable link for your favorite search engine if it     is not already on our list of search engines, or send us a suggestion for additional links to include at suggestions@left-tworight.com.

Tip 2: If you have typical information you search regularly, set up a custom searchable link to automatically narrow the search results   for your favorite search engine with additional default search terms that are added to your search phrase for every search.

Tip 3: If you have a particular search that you perform regularly,   you can create a custom searchable link that includes only default search terms and no editable search terms so that the results of  your default search, which may have frequent search result  changes, can be automatically searched without re-typing the  search terms into the search engine.

Note 1: Some Internet search engines perform the searches   behind the scenes and do not display the search code. For these search engines, where the search term does not show up in the code, custom automatic searches cannot currently be created   using DoGoNow™. Links to those web sites, however, can be created by establishing a General Link.

Note 2: Currently, only 20 links can be created for any tab   (whether the links are displayed or not). If you run out of space    on a tab, create another tab for additional links.
