Favorite search items - do you have any?

Not only do we have a fabulous catalogue of tutorials and posts and comment threads that we can follow, but we can also manage them. I mentioned in a previous post that I love using the search bar. I've only just discovered that I can also bookmark items that I can go back to time and again.

It's very mch like adding a page of a website to a folder that we have on our browser. I often go back to items that I have searched for previously and don't always remember how or where I found it. Even if I do remember a keyword, the search function doesn't always bring up ALL the items for that keyword. A way around this dilemma is to add the items that are going to be of use later on to a favorites folder.

Adding folders

When you find an item that you like click on the star to the right of it and a window will open with the option to "Add Tag". Enter a category like "Gogetters" and this item will be included in the folder. Do this whenever you come across something that you want and save it for later.

Next time you want to look for this simply click on the star to the right in the search bar and all your "tagged" items will appear in their respective folders.

How to remove them?

If you no longer want any items, you can type in the title of the item in the search bar and it will appear with a yellow star next to it. Just unclick the star and it will be removed from the list. This way you won't have any unnecessary links that you are not going to be needing any longer.

Hope you find this useful for future reference.

All the best,

Brian
