- All the above search features can be accessed through the
right-click menu or content selection menu after selecting some words on a page. Selected words will
be captured in the search box for your convenience. - Use the Word Find and Highlight buttons to the right of
the search box, to find and highlight words in the search box on the current
page. (Note: this highlight, unlike highlighting by clicking
Diigo button, is not saved.)
- For Firefox, to access search engines that are not the default search engine
for that category, you need to go into the category submenu. You can also right-click the category to conduct search with all
engines in the category, and search results will open up into multiple tabs.
- For Internet Explorer, there is no category submenu.
Instead, mouse-over the down-arrow to the right of the search button to
access other search engines in the same category.
Multiple Category Search
In addition to bookmark search, the Diigo toolbar's
"MULTIPLE CATEGORY SEARCH" feature is extremely powerful, and allows you quick access to multiple search categories,
each with multiple search engines, and all customizable. ( In fact, many users
mention that Diigo's toolbar is worth installing for just this feature alone!)
In the example shown below, entering the search term "ajax" in the toolbar
search box, and clicking "Web" will
access the default web search engine. And accessing the pull-down menu under
"Web" shows all the categories in which you can search. Clicking "Reference"
in the pull-down menu will send the search to the default reference search
engine ( in this case, Wikipedia).
