Just go to their site and follow the directions.They have quite a few popular searches right on their homepage including Yahoo Finance, BitTorrent, and even the Wayback Machine. If you know the search URL syntax you can even add your own search or customize a search to make it unique for your needs. I’m bookmarking the site and once I make the browser upgrade this sounds like it will come in handy.
