Web Replay’s search from desktop is the simplest and the fastest way to look up a word or a phrase or even a whole line of text on Google or in a dictionary or in any website you want with a click.

How it’s done?

2. Now hold the hot key and click any word on the screen (use the combination key – mouse button you set for capturing words). A dialog box will open with the captured word.

3. Open the drop down menu on the right and select the web site you want to search for the word. There are some web sites by default: Google, Wikipedia, Flicker, Technorati, Dictionary.com. Select one and Web Replay goes to that web site and searches for the word. Now you can see the search results.

But you can create your own search scenario using Web Replay recorder!

Let’s see how it’s done:

7.  Enter any word in the search field

8. Click Search

9. Stop recording and save the macro.

Now hold the hot key and click any word on the screen. In the dialog box that opens you’ll notice your saved search macro. Double click it and Web Replay opens Internet Explorer, goes to www.technorati.com, fills in your username and password, enters the word into the search field and clicks Search.  Now you can see the search results.

Note: if you want to capture more than a word up to a whole line of text just hold the hot key and the mouse button you set for capturing and drag the mouse cursor over the words you want to capture then release the mouse button.
