How to Search Using SeaMonkey

Like all Web browsers, the SeaMonkey application suite has searching capabilities. However, SeaMonkey makes Internet searches a little easier and much more convenient. With an address bar that doubles as a search tool and various ways to access searches from the toolbar, SeaMonkey makes searching simple.
