Feature 6: search from desktop

We often come across words or phrases we do not know their meaning. And we have to search them on the Internet. The navigating sequence looks like this:

1. We have to open the Internet Explorer browser

2. Then type the URL of the website we want to look up the word

3. Then we have to type the word itself (or the phrase) in the search field

4. Then we have to click OK/GO/Search

What if you could make it twice faster?

Let’s see how you can search any word on the screen in 2 simple CLICKS in Google

1. Hold SHIFT key and right CLICK the word. Web Replay opens a dialog box with the captured word to look it up.

2. Click GO. Web Replay navigates to Google and enters the word in the search field and … you can see the results!

How you can search any word in the screen in several different web sites in 2 CLICKS

2. Select in the drop down menu the web site you want to search the word. Now Web Replay navigates to that web site, enters the word in the search field and … you can see the results.

Feature 4: run all tag items in new IE tabs  

We added this feature to optimize another one – Log into your web sites in 1 CLICK – in the sense of making it possible to launch up to 10 saved Web Replay items (logins, macros, bookmarks) at the same time, in new tabs.

We all wish to have a smooth web navigation and get rid of those boring clicking and typing repetitive online actions.

Using this Web Replay feature you have no login data to fill out, no clicking and typing to make, just 1 CLICK and a few seconds wait to be logged into your top web sites.

Let’s see how you can launch your most important web sites in 1 CLICK.

1. Open Web Replay management studio

2. Click Tags

3. You will see the tags list. Click the tag you want to create a shortcut for.

4. Click the button under the tags list – Add tag shortcut.

5. Select in the drop down menu where you want to place the shortcut: in your Favorites, on your Desktop, in your Links or in your Quick launch.

If you choose Desktop then you’ll see the icon of the tag on your desktop. Double click the tag icon to launch all the websites you saved in the tag. In seconds, Web Replay opens the items (logins, web macros, bookmarks) you saved in the tag, in your Internet Explorer browser, in new tabs. Or you can launch the web sites saved in the tag in 1 CLICK – all you have to do is clicking the tag icon shortcut from the Quick launch or from Links or Favorites (Web Replay will open up to 10 web sites).

See the slide show below.

Note: If you want to launch only 10 preferential web sites you have to either create a new tag and add items to it or add the web sites you want to run in new tabs to a existent tag.

How to add a new tag

Follow the steps 1 and 2 above.

3. Click the Add tag button. A dialog box opens with a field for the tag’s name. Type the name of the new tag and click OK. A new tag has been created.

Now let’s see how you can add items to a tag

1. Click a tag where you saved at least one item. Web Replay shows you the tag content.

2. Click an item and drag it over another tag. When over the tag press CTRL key and drop the item into the tag (when you press CTRL key you’ll notice a plus mark).

Create a shortcut for your new tag (follow the steps above) to run only the items you added to it.

Feature 3: tagging items

Every time you save a login, web macro or a bookmark, Web Replay also suggests you a list of tags to associate with the item

Note: there is a list of tags by default, but you can anytime create a tag by simply typing the name of your tag in the tag field.

Group your Web Replay logins, web macros and bookmarks by tags to find them quickly and easily!

How to find a bookmark in 2 clicks!

There’s a toolbar button with a spyglass symbol on it. Click it to open the Web Replay Internet Explorer search band. Web Replay will display all the saved items. Click the one you want to run.

Note: you can save several items to one tag (for example, you can save www.NBA.com, www.NLF.com etc. in the Sports tag) to launch them at the same time.

Use Web Replay tagging feature to manage and organize easily your logins, web macros and bookmarks by saving them in their most appropriate tag(s)!   Watch the slide show below.
