Three Quickie Trickies - Browse Better
Windows All Versions - Internet Explorer or Firefox

Quickie Tricky One
Digiknow when you're searching the Internet that you can search for all forms of a word by typing two asterisks after the word. For instance, typing " ? cloudeight** " (without the quotes) into the address bar will return different topics associated with that word. As of today there's over 103,000 references to "Cloudeight". If we're so famous, why ain't we rich?

Quickie Tricky Two
Did you know simply pressing the spacebar will scroll down a page and pressing Shift and the spacebar will scroll up a page? Here's another tip: To open the favorites bar in Internet Explorer or Firefox, press Ctrl key and press I. Try it the next time you're surfing the Web!

Quickie Tricky Three
To find certain information on a web page, hold down the Ctrl key and press F, enter the text that you want to search for and press enter. Internet Explorer will search through the document, find the relevant text for you (if it exists of course!).

Another tip which works in both FF and IE: to highlight the address bar in order to type a new url, simple hit F6!
