For instance, I can customize Firefox so that when I type in "help2go firefox" in my address bar, it will automatically search Help2Go for all forum posts that reference Firefox. If I type in "espn Washington Nationals", it will use ESPN's own search engine to show me all references to the Washington Nationals baseball team. Quick Searches are a great time saver, and we'll show you how you can customize your own searches in this tutorial.
