Installation instructions

We earnestly recommend you to close all Internet Explorer windows before the AimAtSite installation. Then run AimAtSite.exe to start the installation procedure and follow instructions displayed on your screen.

We do not recommend to uncheck the "See the ReadMe File" option in the final installation wizard screen. Read Me file will be opened in IE and will automatically switch the toolbar on.

Using Toolbar

History Search

To search history the only thing you have to do is to type a search term in the AimAtSite combo-box and press the Enter key or click the History button. 
Note: Do not be worried if at the first moment after AimAtSite installation you have received no results. Indexing Service does not index visited pages immediately, it is a background process and it usually takes several minutes for newly visited pages. The page index begins to grow at the moment you install AimAtSite, so the number of received results will increase day after day.

Favorites Search

To search favorites, enter a query in the AimAtSite combo-box and press the Shift+Enter key or click the Favorites button. Favorites search as well as History search uses content indexing and requires that pages had been loaded in your computer before it can search them.

Online search

The Online button opens the drop-down menu with the list of search engines, online dictionaries, encyclopedias and other Web search sites. Click on one of them and you will open the selected site search result page with results matching the query entered in the combo-box.

Current page search

The This Page button searches the current loaded page for a phrase entered in the toolbar combo-box. Words or phrases are being searched from the top to the bottom of the page. When there are no more specified words, the message "Finished searching the page" appears in the Internet Explorer status bar.

Words highlighting

The Highlight button highlights words you entered in the AimAtSite combo-box on the current page. Each occurrence of every word of a phrase you entered will be highlighted on the page.

Tools

The AimAtSite Logo button (the leftmost button on the toolbar) provides access to various auxiliary resources of AimAtSite such as: help topics, online help (this page), query language help (link to Microsoft's "making query" articles of the Indexing Service help), registration (see below) and options. You can change program settings in the Options dialog. Click AimAtSite Logo to access the drop-down menu, then click Options to open the Options dialog. Options dialog has two tabs, the General tab and the Sites tab.

In the General tab you can select a sorting option, set a maximum number of results and number of results that will be displayed on each result page. Moreover the General tab gives you the possibility to choose an option to index partly downloaded pages and to clear or truncate the cache of visited Web pages. By default AimAtSite stores only complete downloaded pages. This case warrants that all page content will be indexed properly. But if your style is quick surfing the Index Partially Downloaded Pages option can be more suitable for you.

The Sites tab allows you to extend the Online drop-down menu by checking on sites listed in the box at the left. This dialog allows to import site lists from a file. An important features set is available for registered users. They can add/remove sites to/from the list of available sites and to export a changed site list to a file. These actions can be performed both by buttons on the right side of the tab and by the context menu opened on the Site list by a Right mouse button click.

To add a site click the New Site button in the Sites tab. You will see the Site Properties dialog.

Type any name in the Name field to refer to a search site you would like to add. Then enter the appropriate URL Template for this site. URL Template is the URL of the site search results page for any search term where this search term is replaced by %%% characters.

For example: if the URL to search Google for the AimAtSite word is
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=aimatsite
you should type
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%%%
in URL field.

It is possible to hide or show the AimAtSite toolbar (like other Internet Explorer toolbars). To do that go to View->Toolbars on the Internet Explorer menu and click AimAtSite.

Registration

When you have purchased a user license you will immediately receive a confirmation message with your personal registration code. Please type the registration code in the Registration Code box exactly as it is shown in the confirmation message and click the Register button.
