Performing a search

The search window is designed to find images on the web (or on your computer) as simple and straightforward as possible.

Opening a search window

If a search window hasn't already been opened (or if you want to keep a previous set of results open), choose New Search from the File menu.

Selecting a search engine

Click the Using popup menu to select one of the listed search engines.

The first three search engines in the menu are special types built into Beholder:

Entering a search query

If the selected search engine requires it, enter a query into the search entry field (or if this search window has been used before, you can click on the search history popup menu to select from previous searches). Then, click on the Start button, or press the return key.

Hint: If you'd like to cancel a search in progress, click on the Stop button, or press the command-period key combination.

When the search is complete, its results will be displayed as thumbnails inside the Results panel of the search window.
