Page 623 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

Previous pages. Whatever pages you had open the last time you

closed Edge.

A specific page or pages. Lots of people like to be greeted every
morning by a site like NYTimes.com or Weather.com. Or even

several favorite sites, all loaded and ready for reading; that’s a
great way to avoid wasting time by calling up one site after
another, because they’ll all be loading in the background as you

read the first one.

Tip

Edge offers light and dark modes, just as Windows itself does (Figure 4-2). To switch, open the
menu and then hit Settings; there’s your “Choose a theme” drop-down menu. Try them all!

The Address/Search Bar

In Edge, as in many popular browsers, a single, unified box serves as both
the address bar and the search bar. If you type a web address there, like
amazon.com, pressing Enter takes you to that website; if you type anything

else, like cashmere sweaters or just amazon, pressing Enter gives you the
Bing search results for that phrase.

Searching the Web

Press Ctrl+L (or F4, or Alt+D) to deposit your insertion point inside the
unified toolbar, just as in Internet Explorer. As you type something you’re
looking for—phony baloney, say—a drop-down menu of autocomplete

suggestions appears beneath your typing. When you finish typing and press
Enter (or when you choose one of those suggestions), Edge takes you
directly to the Bing results page, or the page you selected.
