Getting started
Posted by thetechmanual on May
Key Word surfing like AOL with Google.
Are you knew to the internet?
If so the first thing to learn is how to do a Google search. If you are not new still read this quick tip there is something new here for most people.
- Type in Google.com in the address bar.
- Type in cnn on the search field.
- Click “I’m Feeling Lucky”
Notice what happened. You didn’t get a search results list. You got CNN.com. Go back and try MTV, Yahoo, AOL. What you are getting is the best result for the keywords. You can even try “Yahoo Mail”. Using the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button on Google.com is a great shortcut that seems to be underused.
Alright, hope this was new to you and see how simple the web can be.

From your questions it seems you are using Internet Explorer. Steps:
When you are in the Google website you’ll see next to the web address where you entered http://www.google.com an icon representing Google will appear to the left of the address.
Simply drag that icon from the address bar to the Favorites panel. You can place it in the order you want.
Alternatively you may want to install the Google toolbar for more convenient access to Google services. Click on the link below.

If that doesn’t work just go to Google.com and enter Google toolbar in the search bar and press the I’m feeling lucky button.
