Web searching as easy as name-dropping
Web searching as easy as name-dropping
|
Carlos Guerrera writes that if you select and drag two or more words from any application, like your word processor or address book, and drop it into a Web page in Navigator 4.x, the browser will head to one of the major Net searchers like Lycos, Excite, or Infoseek (Netscape varies the searcher used) and look for Web pages that include those words. If you drag and drop only a single word, however, Navigator will treat it like a domain name. For instance, drop pcworld, and Navigator will head to www. pcworld.com. This doesn't work with earlier versions of the browser, however.
