A search trail is the path you leave behind while searching on your favourite engines like Google.
The Trexy TrailBar enables you to create, remember and share your search trails.
It works with over 4,000 search engines.
STEP 1: Download the TrailBar to start trailblazing.
This is a two step process: agree to the terms and conditions then select your browser type.
The TrailBar works on Internet Explorer and Firefox. Once installed you will see the
TrailBar appear in your browser and you're ready to start trailblazing.
STEP 2: Go ahead and enter a search term in your favourite search engine.
Go to Google, for example, and search for a "chocolate cake"
recipe. All
trails begin with a search and
include the steps you take to find your answer. The TrailBar automatically activates when you
start searching on a search engine. The TrailBar does not record any sensitive information such
as login or credit card details.
STEP 3: Click on a search result as you normally would.
Notice the green light activates when you are trailblazing.
Let's click on the third result for "chocolate cake".
STEP 4: View the web page to find what you are looking for.
"Our best Chocolate Cake Recipes"
displays
a number of chocolate cake recipes.
Let's pick the recipe for "Chocolate Mousse Cake".
Notice the green light is on which means we are still blazing a trail.
STEP 5: Found it! Now you'll never have to search for it again.
We've found a good recipe for chocolate cake, so let's stop searching and start baking that cake.
You've blazed a trail so you'll never have to search for it again.
STEP 6: Search "My Trails" to remember the trails you've already found.
To retrieve your trail, enter "chocolate cake" in the TrailBar search box and click on "Search
Trails".
Trexy helps you to remember where, when and what you have searched for and which web page(s) you
visited to find your answer.
STEP 7: View your search trail in "My Trails".
"My Trails" are your personal collection of trails. You can delete or decide not to share
any of your trails anytime.
Searching and finding information takes time and effort. Why not help other searchers
by sharing trails? Let's share the chocolate cake recipe we found.
STEP 8: Share your search discoveries in "All Trails".
Click on the "Search All Trails" green tab. Our trail for "chocolate cake" appears.
It is anonymous. All we know is that the Trailblazer is in the United Kingdom.
By sharing trails you can access your trails from any computer.
STEP 9: Learn from other Trailblazers - search on "All Trails".
Let's search for "party tips" on "All Trails".
Maybe someone else has already found what we're looking for?
It looks like a trailblazer from Germany has used Teoma
and found "Kids Party Themes". Let's follow that trail.
STEP 10: Follow in the footsteps of a Trailblazer.
You can bypass all the browsing steps and jump straight to the end of a trail.
If you can't find a trail why not be the first person to blaze a trail for it.
