How to Create a Folder for the Online Search Engine You Use

Create a folder for the online search engine you use in one of two places. There’s always the option of creating a folder for offline storage in My Documents for instance. Yet that presents two problems. If you’ve got a browser open, it will have to be reduced or minimized to allow access to the desktop. On top of that you won’t be able to navigate through web pages from a computer stored folder. If you want online access to a folder for your search engine, store it in Favorites.

Instructions

1. Create your folder. Open a browser and click the "Favorites" button. Click the "Organize favorites" option. Under Tasks, click on "Create a new folder." In the dialog box that appears, type a name for the folder like "Searches," and click "OK."

2. Store searches. Anytime you find something you’d like to store with the online search engine you use, simply click the "Favorites" button. Then choose the "Add to favorites" option. Click the "Put in folder" button on the dialog box. All of your folders will appear in a pull down. Click your newly created Searches folder and that’s where the web page will be stored.

3. Retrieve stored pages. With a browser open, click the "Favorites" button. Place the mouse pointer over your Searches file. A list of the pages you’ve stored will appear off to one side. Click on the page you wish to retrieve, and it will take over the screen. From there you can navigate through the rest of the website and use all the available links.
