Electricka's navigation tools
fast—Here's
how
step 1—jump to the red box that
contains the kind of tools you want
to use
Information:
Each red box on this page below contains a list of navigation tools. The name of a
red box describes the type of navigation tools it contains.
For each tool listed
in a single red box, the box provides a succinct explanation of what
the tool does and how it works; it gives you a way to visit it fast.
Action:
- The list above the first red box on this page, below, contains the names of all the
red boxes on this page.
- Using the names of the red boxes on the list, decide which type of tool is best
for the features or information you want to find and the kind of searching you want to do.
- Then jump to the red box that contains this type of tool by clicking the
name of the red box on the list. Or scroll down the page to see all the boxes and pick
the one you want.
Step 2—visit the page that contains the tool you want
Information:
The names of some tools listed in red boxes are links to pages where the
named tool is located.
Other tools are menus, search engines, features that explain navigation in
depth and at length, etc.
Action:
- Select the specific navigation tool you want to use from the list of tools in the
red box you have chosen.
- If the name of the tool is a link, click the name to visit the page that
contains the tool.
- If the tool is not a link (menus, search engines, etc.), read and follow
the directions for the tool in the red box.
Step 3—use the tool
Information:
Some tools work by listing the names of links to other pages you may want to
see. Other tools (menus, search engines,
etc.) work in other ways.
How you use the navigation tool you have chosen depends on the nature
of the tool. You'll usually know what to do when you see it.

Internet search engines and electricka's
search tool
-
web-based search engines
Electricka is listed with Google, Yahoo! Search, AOL
Search, Ask.com, Lycos, Live Search, and most other popular web-based search engines. Use
them to
find pages at Electricka's web site that match your interests.
Search engines can be persnickety. Sometimes a search produces so many
links to web sites, it's hard to find the ones for Electricka among them.
Some search engines don't index all of Electricka's pages. These
kinds of problems are meliorated by making Electricka one of the keywords
in your search.
Adding the keyword Electricka tends to
move the results of your search onto or nearer the first page of
your search results. This trick doesn't always work, but it helps.
(It doesn't matter whether
you capitalize or italicize the word Electricka, but it helps to spell it
correctly.)
