Internet browsing Tips:Fast search your web

You can search web more efficiently by some tips.To make Web surfing more satisfying and productive, we offer these tips: 

Get a faster connection.

If you still use a dial-up account, it's time to upgrade. Consider getting a high-speed service such as DSL or a cable modem. It may cost a bit more, but it will greatly improve your experience and productivity. 

If you have a slow connection, use the Stop button.

When you access a website, what you are actually doing is downloading digital files. You can see how the download is progressing by looking at the status bar located at the bottom of your web browser. If you get tired of waiting, click the Stop button to view the files that have already downloaded. Then you can decide if you want to continue. If you do, click the Reload or Refresh button. 

Increase your cache.

Files you download are stored in a cache (pronounced "cash") on your hard drive. That way when you return to a site, you don't have to download the files again from the web server, just access them locally from your cache. After a while though, the cache becomes full. Your web browser automatically deletes old files as you continue to surf the Web. But if you visit many of the same sites regularly, you can speed up access by caching more of them. To do this, increase the size of your cache. 10 MB is optimal. With Internet Explorer 7.0 or 8.0, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options. On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Settings. In the Disk space to use text box, type the amount of disk space (in megabytes) that you want to be set aside for temporary storage space, and then click OK twice. 
With Firefox 2.0 or later, under the Tools menu, select Options, then click Advanced and then the Network tab. Now type in the amount of cache you want to allocate.  

Save keystrokes by using Bookmarks or Favorites.

Web addresses or URLs can be unwieldy. Worse, if you type them wrong, you get an error message. To avoid these problems, save the addresses of sites you want to revisit

Open a new window or use tabbed browsing.

While you are downloading one web page, you can access another by opening a second browser window. With Internet Explorer 7.0 under the File menu select New Window. With Firefox 2.0 under the File menu select New Window.
Both Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0 and Firefox 2.0 and later have a feature called tabbed browsing. Instead of opening a new window, you just open a new tab with a new window. You can have multiple tabs open at the same time and easily switch between web pages.A word of caution: Although you can open multiple windows or tabs, this can slow down your computer, so don't go overboard. Remember to close the additional windows to free up disk space. 

View sites in text-only mode if you have a slow connection

Sure, web designers spend a great amount of time creating wonderful graphics, but it can take quite a while to download large graphic files. If you only have dial-up and you want to speed things up, turn off the images in your web browser.
With Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0, under the Tools menu, select Internet Options, then click the Advanced tab. Now uncheck Show Pictures.
Thoughtful designers include something called an ALT tag, a written description of the image. If you want to see a particular image, click on the tag with your right mouse button and select View Image. For Mac users, just hold down the mouse button over the graphic.
