Hi Marilyn,
I figured it out quite accidentally after I posted the query. I also
replaced Alta Vista. Now I need to add Google. What a neat feature. Thanks
for the response.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Search the Internet for Current Person
Go to a person in your Legacy file, then click on the globe "Internet" on
the top menubar. Then click on "Search Internet for Current Person..."
It opens a pop-up window where you can replace one of the 8 websites to
choose from with Find A Grave. I used Alta Vista because I never use Alta
Vista. Click on the button, "Customize Searches..." and it opens another
pop-up window where you can Select one of the Internet Searches (I still
used Alta Vista as my choice). This opens up yet another pop-up window
called "Select an Internet Search." "[none]" will already be highlighted.
At this juncture, click the "Add..." button.
*Another* pop-up window will appear where you can name your new search (I
named it "Find A Grave") and then you can finally paste that long URL into
the first box. The second box already has []=[%20] in it so all I had to do
then was "Save" and it was done.
"Alta Vista" was replaced with "Find A Grave" on that first window, and it
works great. BTW, the Alta Vista search string is still there in Legacy,
apparently Legacy can only display 8 other websites at a time, to search
from, in that very first pop-up window.
Sorry if this is too simplistic, I'm kind of a detail nut...

Never having done this previously --

WOW! Very cool! I have never used this feature before. What
a great family tree program. Thanks, Robert & Judy.
