Go to File Preferences Search. In this area we can enable Search History , which is ON by default. There is also a button that we can select to clear history. By default when we perform a web search, the results will be presented in the embedded browser in Lotus Notes. We can change this preference by deselecting Use embedded browser to display Search Center web search results. If this preference is not selected, the web search results will show in our default web browser.

We can change what is displayed in the search list. We will see a list of what we are able to select; we can then check or uncheck the available options.

Finally, we can add our applications to the Search drop-down list. In the following screenshot, I have added Karen's Training Resources application to the Search drop-down list. To do this I opened the application, clicked the Search drop-down list in the Search toolbar, and then selected the option to Always Show in Search List. I can now, from anywhere in Lotus Notes, perform searches in the application by selecting the option in the Search toolbar.

One of the search options listed is Windows Search. This option searches our local drives and returns to the search view in Lotus Notes, links to the files it has found. The sidebar is located on the right-hand side of the Lotus Notes screen. What is available in our sidebar is determined by what has been made available in our organization.

For example, our organization may not have enabled RSS Feeds; if this is the case, we will not see the Feeds panel in the sidebar.

The following is a screenshot of the sidebar. Closed means it is not visible. We will have to click the small white arrow shown in the next screenshot to open. Thin means we see only available icons. We can click an icon to open the sidebar. The following screenshot shows the sidebar in the thin state:. From within the sidebar, we have all the Sametime capabilities available to us such as seeing our contacts and, if they are available, being able to chat with current contacts and add or remove contacts, along with many other features.

We may not see this option in the sidebar if Sametime has not been enabled in our organization. The next is a screenshot of what Sametime looks like in the sidebar. Sametime is discussed in detail in the next chapter. Day-At-A-Glance : This shows the current days calendar entries such as meetings, appointments, and so on. We can use the arrows to go back or forward through the days or click in the calendar below to select a different day to view.

If we double-click any of the calendar entries, it will open that entry. Alternatively we can right-click and select the Open in New Window option. In this section, we can also manage and add new feeds.

This is explained in detail in Chapter 3 , Feeds. Activities : This application helps organize our documents under categories. Quickr : This is a document management application that integrates with Lotus Notes. We can change which of these applications is displayed in our sidebar. Each of the panels includes a panel menu that we can use to manipulate the panel including floating or removing the panel , as well as context commands for the application. Within Lotus Notes, there is an inbuilt browser or embedded browser.

The browser allows us to open and navigate web pages directly from within Lotus Notes. We can change which web search engine the embedded browser uses in its search bar by clicking File Preferences Search , and then clicking a search engine in the list. Clicking the Open button and then clicking Web browser. We can repeat this step if we want to have more than one browser page open. Typing a web address URL into the Address toolbar, and then clicking the Go button, which is to the left of the Print button.

If the Address toolbar is not showing, right-click in the toolbar area and select Address. If we want to bookmark the page we have just opened, select Create Bookmark.

Stop the web page from loading by clicking the Stop button. Return to the page that is set as our Home page by clicking the Go home button. Print the web page that is displayed by clicking the Print button.

Change the page settings for printing the displayed web page by selecting the down arrow next to the Print button and then clicking Page Setup. Preview how the displayed web page will look printed by selecting the down arrow next to the Print button and then clicking Print Preview. Lotus Notes uses the embedded browser by default. We can disable it by accessing File Preferences , clicking Web Browser , and then checking the Use the browser I have set as the default for this operating system option.
