Search Tips Continued

Standard

Hopefully by now you have the first three tips that I shared last week down.

  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)

4.  Search text within PDF’s and Images (Use # 3 above (/) and start typing to search for text within the first 100 pages of any PDF or text document w/i Google drive (or the first 10 pages of any image PDF))

5. Chrome Search History (Search w/i your Chrome history for quick access to past online work.)  For example I know I need to access something related to Grade 10 that I worked on yesterday.  I would follow these steps:
– Open Chrome and click on History at the top
-Click Show Full History to view all search history by device or to search within

history

search within history
