It just activates with the mouse, what you have typed in the Search Box, Yan....

..the same as if you had pressed "Enter/Return" after typing.

Paul....I spy with my little eye... :mrgreen: ...!

On a "Browser" page the "Magnifying Glass" is for searching for general information, etc, in the search box!

Do you mean the "Binoculars" in the "Search Box" on the Main Sim V Page?

That is for searching named aircraft, named scenery, etc, in the Sim V Library!

Searching for "me" (Profile) only works with clicking on my name in the Forum!.... :lol: ...!

Paul.... :mrgreen: ...!

Yan....

In the Search Box in the top right-hand corner of your Browser, (I am using Pale Moon/Firefox), click on the tiny inverted arrow, scroll down and select "Google".
The Google icon will appear in the Search Box.

Type in a question....>>>

why is the sky blue?

Click on the Magnifying Glass...

A Web page will appear with a whole list of answers explaining it, from different Sites.

Take you pick!

Type in...>>>

Canada

Click on the Magnifying glass..

A whole list of pages telling you everything you ever wanted to know all about Canada!

Paul....typing..."where am I?".... :D ...!

...it tells me I am lying in bed in the county of Hereford!....... :dance: ...!

Its the "Forum Page" Search Box!

That search box looks for posts which contain the word that you type into the Search Box....

I typed; "Canada", and a number of Posts popped up with the word; "Canada" in them!

Its different from the Search Box on the Browser page!

Paul... :mrgreen: ...!

Sumfink strange, Yan!.... :roll: ...!

I typed 'Yancovitch' in the "Forum Search box", and lots of Posts with your name highlighted in the text came up!

I think that's what its supposed to do!

Good for finding all sorts of hidden things!.... :D ....!

Paul....forever Googling!... :mrgreen: ...!
