Paste URLs as Pages

Open a page for each of the Internet addresses (URLs such as http://www.ebay.com/) found in text copied to the clipboard. The text may contain one or multiple URLs, and any non-URL text is ignored. This is an easy way to open a set of pages that someone has sent you via e-mail or instant messaging -- see also the Copy Pages as URLs command.

In any document or application (e.g., an email message), you can select text containing URLs, use the Edit/Copy command to copy it to the clipboard, and then use this command to open each URL as a separate page in iRider. iRider looks for strings beginning with "http://", "www." or "ftp://" and ending with a space, tab, or end-of-line. For example:

In this email message, you could select and copy all the text containing URLs you want to open and use the Paste URLs as Pages command to open all five pages at once.


Copy Pages as URLs

Copy the Internet addresses (URLs) of the selected page or pages to the clipboard. The URLs can then be pasted into another application or document. This is an easy way to share several pages with someone via e-mail or instant messaging -- see also the Paste URLs as Pages command.

To select multiple pages, hold down the Shift key and/or Ctrl key while clicking in the Page List. The Shift key selects a range of consecutive pages; the Ctrl key selects individual pages or, when combined with the Shift key, lets you select multiple consecutive ranges.


Select All

Select the entire contents of the current page or active field.


Find

Search for text within the current page. The Find dialog includes the following options:

Text to find contains the current search pattern. This field is updated to contain any search key used to search for web pages using your search page or in an Address Bar search. This makes it easy to find particular occurrences of a seach term on a page you've reached via a search engine. The drop-down list can be used to select previous search patterns.

With Exact phrase unchecked (the default setting), each occurrence of any of the words in the search text will be found. A quoted string counts as a single word. This is usually the setting you'll want when searching for a multi-term pattern. For example, if you're searching for pages using the pattern Freud cocaine, you probably want to find each occurrence of Freud or cocaine within each page. With Exact phrase checked, only the entire verbatim phrase is found; however, it's usually better, if you're looking for an exact phrase, to leave this option unchecked and just put quotation marks around the phrase, especially if you're searching via a search engine.

Checking Match whole word only causes the search to ignore partial word matches, such as finding "anal" in the word "analysis." Checking Match upper/lower case makes the search case-sensitive; for example, "Clintonesque" would not match "clintonesque."

The search proceeds either from the top of the document Down towards the bottom, or Up from the bottom of the document towards the top.

The Find dialog is modeless — it can remain open while you interact with pages in the main window.


Find Again

Search for text within the current page using the options previously specified in the Edit/Find dialog. The Edit/Find search pattern is updated to contain any search key used to search for web pages using your search page or in an Address Bar search. This makes it easy to find particular occurrences of a seach term on a page you've reached via a search engine
