Dan:
Thanks for the clarification. I have FF on my system but never used it. I
should start and try out your neat little trick, sounds slick, as you say.
I just thought I would try and see if IE can do the same but apparently it
doesn't.
Take care.

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Keyword browsing.

Kimsan,

Sorry, but as far as I can tell, the google toolbar keyword thing is 
different than the keyword feature in FireFox.  In google toolbar, it 
seems to work more like the instant browsing on google, as you type words 
into your address bar, it offers web sites that it thinks you want to go 
to.

With a keyword in FireFox, it is just like setting up a shortcut to a web 
site.  Instead of typing www.google.com, you can just type g, if you have 
set up g as a keyword for www.google.com.

Also, if you setup your g keyword to be www.google.com/search?q=%s then 
you could just type g turboencabulator in the address bar and you would 
immediately be brought to the google search results page as if you had 
gone to google and typed turboencabulator into the search box and hit 
enter.

It's pretty slick.
