The search button in the upper right corner is your key to searching the site and the web in general. Type in what you are looking for and click search. The search will query Google’s search database and return a list of pages on Quarrels and Quills that match your search request. Want to search the web for that same query? Just click on the web tab. Maybe you are interested in what people are blogging about what you are searching for, if so, then click on the Blog tab. Want to see the latest news articles relating to your search, then click on the News tab. Maybe you want to find images related to your search, well, as you might expect, click on the images tab. The Video tab, as you might expect, gives you video results for your search query. You can even get local and see what local businesses match yoru search criteria. You can fine-tune the local search by clicking on the little “gear” in the right corner (configure button), just above the results. This will allow you to change the local search location. News and Blog also has a configure button, that will allow you to sort the result list by date or not.
I may add additional functionality to the search at a later time. I’ve contemploated integrating local search with Google maps, and even linking to Amazon. I know both are possible, but I’m not sure exatly how to implement at this time. Besides, I still have a lot more to do on the site. I do hope you like the latest addition.
Edit: I forgot to mention, if you are using Internet Explorer 7, or Firefox 2.0+, you can integrate the Quarrels and Quiils search into your browser quick search. That way you can do all your searching right from your browser. And since Quarrels and Quills search is powered by Google, you have Google’s extensive database at your fingertips.
