>>>step-by-step: Using Navigation Tiles
The Metro version of Internet Explorer 10
employs colorful tiles—similar to those you see on the Windows 8 Start
screen—to help you move to your favorite and most frequently visited
sites. These tiles appear when you tap or click in the address bar.
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen. The address bar appears along the bottom of the screen.
2.
Tap or click in the address bar. The screen displays two lists of tiles.
On the left you see the 10 most frequently visited sites, and on the
right IE10 lists any sites you’ve pinned to the Start screen.
3. Tap or click the tile of the page you want to display, and the web-page opens and fills the screen.
>>>step-by-step: Searching for Information
The way in which you search for information
online will depend on which version of IE10 you are using. With the
Metro version, you can display the Charms bar and tap or click Search to
begin the process. With the desktop version of IE10, you can just tap
or click in One Box and type what you’re looking for. Both techniques
are simple and will get you to the information you’re looking for.
1. In IE 10 Metro, swipe in from the right to display the Charms bar.
2. Tap or click Search.
3. Tap or
click in the Search box and begin to type a word or phrase that reflects
what you’re searching for. As you type, Windows 8 displays a number of
possible search phrases that include the letters you’ve entered.
4. To choose one of the suggested search phrases, tap or click it.
5. To
search for the word or phrase you entered, tap the Search tool. The
results appear in a Bing window on the left side of your screen, and you
can tap or click a link that you think will have the information you
seek.
Browse, Shop, It’s all the Same
One
cool feature that we’re sure to see more of in the Metro version of
IE10 is the connection to the Windows Store. When a site you visit also
has an app available that you can download to use with Windows 8, you
will be able to click or tap the site icon to the left of the address
bar to download the app automatically to Windows 8. Pretty slick!
