As Daniel Goldman (2014) says, we are asking our homo sapien brains to process fifteen times more information today than we did in 1986.  Until spring break I will be populating a list of quick search tips for all sorts of applications so you can get at what you need faster.

1. Ctrl f  (in most application and generally speaking most websites this combination will present a search box)
2. Window key and start typing (this will search anything present in Windows 8 including all installed software)
3. / (in Google Drive online clicking / will automatically place your cursor in the search box)
