Search the Web From the Taskbar

SUMMARY: Search the web from your Windows 98 taskbar without installing third-party software.


 

Thinking about installing a third-party taskbar to search the web quickly from your Windows 98 desktop? Forget about it! Search the web quickly and easily using basic features found in the Windows 98 taskbar.

2. Now, to search for something on the web, click on the address bar, type in a question mark, a space, and your search terms.
3. Press ENTER, and your default web browser will load, visit a search engine, and search for your desired term(s).
