If you use Mozilla or Phoenix (don't know about NS7) and haven't been using custom keyword searching, now's the time to learn.Just go to any site that has a search (like the newbie archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/), enter a dummy search phrase like "coffee" (no quotes) and bookmark the results page. Next, go to Bookmarks > Mangage bookmarks, and look at the properties of the bookmark you just made. Locate the word "coffee" in the URL and replace it with "%s" (no quotes). In the keyword field, enter a short phrase you'll remember; I use "newb". Now when I enter "newb boot hang cups" in the address bar I go directly to the results page of a Mandrake newbie search on "boot hang cups". Pretty cool! I also have custom searches for Freshmeat.net, rpmfind.net, m-w.com, sourceforge, amazon.com, LDP, google (web, groups, images, and news) and a few others. Very handy for URL's I'm always forgetting/misplacing. Todd
