onCue search wizardadd links to internet searches and servicesThis wizard constructs a Qbit that links to an existing Internet search page, either your own or someone else's. The method will not work with every search service - some require a login, for example; others use incompatible methods. These more complex pages may need Qbits written in Java. However, the good news is that we have found that most web search engines can be accessed from onCue with this simple mechanism - in fact, most of the ones you see in onCue are! For example, www.hcibook.com/hcibook/search.html is a typical search engine front page. It has a text entry area and a button marked 'search'. You can get onCue to look up words automatically in search engines like this, or to access other web-based services with this type of front-end. If you want to experiment before trying your own Qbit, just copy the example text below each text box.
