How can I add a search to Fetsi list?


Open the web page that you want to add. If the web page has multiple input fields and/or drop-down menus pre-fill these fields with your desired values. Click your mouse cursor at the input box you want to be able to submit your searches to. Press Ctrl-A-A (hold down a Ctrl key and press the "A" key twice). That's it! Confirmation dialog will let you change the web page name for your list (you can always change it later) or cancel.


How can I add a bookmark to Fetsi list?

Open the web page that you want to add and press Ctrl-A-A. Follow directions above for the confirmation dialog. Bookmarks are shown in the Fetsi list in blue color while searches are shown in black color.


How can I submit text directly to a web page search box?

Highlight text in any program on your computer and press Ctrl-C-C (hold down a Ctrl key and press the C key twice).  Results of your search will open in your default web browser. Alternatively, type search text in the Fetsi input box and press the Enter key or double-click a name in the Fetsi list.


What other keyboard shortcuts are available?

Ctrl-Up/Down (hold down a Ctrl key and press the up/down arrow keys) let you change selected web page by moving up/down the Fetsi list, while Ctrl-Spacebar hides/restores the Fetsi window. These shortcuts work from any application.


What's the best way to search using Fetsi?

Highlight a word or words in any program. Press Ctrl-C and look at the balloon tooltip that will appear in the system tray and show the currently selected Fetsi web page. If you want to search a different web page, keep the Ctrl key down and press the up/down arrow keys until you see the name that you want in the balloon tooltip. You can also press the Spacebar while holding the Ctrl key down to bring up the Fetsi window and look at the web page list while you change the web pages with the up/down arrow keys. When you got to the web page you want, press the C key again (while still holding the Ctrl key down) to submit your search.

Of course you don't have to use the Ctrl-Up/Down/Spacebar key combinations if the web page that you want to search has already been selected in Fetsi. You just need to highlight some text and press Ctrl-C-C.


What's the best way to add a search to Fetsi list?

Fetsi can add all kinds of searches to your list. However, it is usually better to add searches from main web site pages (not from generated "results" pages). Then the web page name suggested by Fetsi and the icon for the page are most likely to be what you want.

How can I open a bookmark?

To open a bookmark, press Ctrl-C-C form any application while the bookmark is selected in Fetsi. From the Fetsi window, double-click the bookmark name or press the Enter key.

How can I open a web page added as a search without making search?

Highlight an empty space or spaces in any application and press Ctrl-C-C while the search page is selected in Fetsi. From the Fetsi window, clear text in the Fetsi input field and double-click the web page name in the Fetsi list or press the Enter key.

How can I temporarily disable shortcut keys?

Right-click on the Fetsi title bar, select "Options...", and check the "Disable all Ctrl- key combinations" checkbox.

Can I use radio buttons, checkboxes and other options when adding a search?

Yes, when you are adding a search with Ctrl-A-A, you can select any options such as radio buttons and checkboxes that you want to be associated with the added search. You can also fill text in text boxes other than the one you add (if there are any), and the filled text will be submitted in those textboxes each time you make a search.
