Do A Site Search
Not all web sites have their own search feature that allows you to search only that particular web site. So what do you do? Easy. Most search engines have a nifty little feature that allows you to do a search and restrict it to only one web site. Here's what you do:
Go to your favourite search engine.
Enter your search term, then enter site:www.sitename.com, where 'sitename' is the name of the web site you wish to search.
Example:
Let's say you wanted to refer back to a previous Tech Tip and find information about the Windows key. You remember getting that tip in your email, but when you go to www.micro2000.co.uk you can't find it or you have to search through each tip, one-by-one. An easier and faster way to find the information you're looking for is to open your favourite search engine. Then type in the following:
windows site:www.micro2000.co.uk

So the next time you come across a site where the webmaster thought a search feature wasn't necessary or the one that's there doesn't work, you can use this trick to get around that little problem.

Change to:
Netscape or Firefox - Go to Edit > Preferences. Then click "
