Search ABC from Firefox

- Nehmo - It's just multiposting, not spam. But I'll take the opportunity to correct a mistake I made in my example. It should be: F6 abc honest man .. The "abc" is the keyword for the bookmark. I mistakenly had only "a" in my original post.

Rightclick > Add Keyword for this Search > The "Add Bookmark" box will display >

To Search.



F6 (to place the focus in the Address Bar of Firefox; you don't need to do this if the focus is already there)>



Type "abc", followed by a space, and whatever you want to search ABC for. For example:



F6 a honest man



This would search Google's archive of ABC for an honest man.



You can use the Google Group's search techniques,



for example: F6 a author: snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com (not saying you'd want to go there) would give you my posts


You can use this procedure for other newsgroups search boxes or for non-newsgroup search boxes too.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......spammmmmmmm...."
