Find pages quickly by using the NOTES field


The SurfSaver notes field gives you a great way to mark certain web pages for quick and easy retrieval. Let's say for example you are doing research for the purchase of a new bicycle. You have downloaded several pages and were able to read only a few of them before you had to leave for the thanksgiving holiday. How do you know which ones you have read? How do you keep up with which pages had important information that you would need to go back to after the holidays. Use the SurfSaver notes field to enter information for easy retrieval.


Let's say I wanted to mark several important pages to read when I return from the holidays. To mark a web page in SurfSaver for quick review I would...


1. Bring up SurfSaver Search

2. Perform a search or list all items from a folder

3. Select a web page I want to read later

4. Choose EDIT

5. In the NOTES filed type TODO


Note: you can use any word or phrase here as a unique identifier that you can easily remember.






I would repeat this process for each page I want to access quickly after the holidays. When I return from the holidays and am ready to review the important pages I would...


1. Bring up SurfSaver Search

2. In the notes field type TODO

3. Choose Search


The search results will display only the web pages we marked as todo before we left for the holidays.

"askSam is an essential part of my software tool chest. I can research and collect data from anywhere and any source. Once it is in askSam I can edit, rearrange, organize, and search the information easily. Then I can present it and make it totally useful for other people via the web or CD. Fantastic!"
