• Q:

  How can I get the searches to show in tabs instead of windows?

• A:

  You can adjust your browser so that every search opens in a new tab, which is much tidier than creating lots of new windows. Here's how:
  
  For Internet Explorer, click the Tools pull-down menu, then select Internet Options, then under Tabs click the Settings button, then under "When a pop-up is encountered" select "Always open pop-ups in a new tab". Finally, save your changes and exit.
  
  For Firefox click the Edit pull-down menu, select Preferences, then Tabs, then checkmark the "Force links that open new windows to open in" line, and finally, select the "a new tab" option. Finally, save your changes and exit.

• Q:

  SearchOpener is not doing the searches I entered.

• A:

  You may have a pop-up blocker enabled. Try holding down the Ctrl key (Command key for Mac) when you press the Open All button. Hopefully that will override the blocker.

• Q:

  My computer slows down when I do a lot of searches.

• A:

  The solution is to do fewer searches. Each process you have running - whether a Web page or anything else - takes a bit of computing power. With too many processes open, you will indeed slow your computer.

• Q:

  Is my data secure on SearchOpener?

• A:

  Really, there is nothing to secure. We do not save any of the information you paste into the search field. It is just processed, then the clickable links are displayed on the page.

• Q:

  Doing anything else interesting on the Net?

• A:

  Well, here's a set of text tools I've created: TextWidgets.com.
