Ctrl+E, Alt+Down Arrow: Choose Firefox search engine
Here’s the last of our Firefox tips, in celebration of the release of Firefox 3 last week.
We previously covered Ctrl+K to jump to the search box in the upper right. If you happen to use the Google toolbar, Ctrl+K has a different function, so some of you may prefer to use Ctrl+E to jump up there instead.
Now for the next step! Once your cursor is up there in the search box, type in a search term but do NOT press Enter to search yet.
Instead, you can press Alt+Down Arrow to pull down the list of search engines available. Then you can use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow to select a search engine, and then press Enter to search using that engine.
Firefox will remember your choice until the next time you change the engine using that same Alt+Down Arrow pulldown menu.
You can always use the Manage Search Engines menu item to edit your list of search engines. To add more, just press Tab Tab Enter from the Manage Search Engine List dialog box in order to hit that “Get more search engines…” link.

I have realized that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every real estate deal, a percentage is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the fee. Rather, they try to win the commission through doing a great agent’s task. In doing so, they invest their money and time to execute, as best they will, the jobs of an adviser. Those tasks include getting known the home via marketing, representing the home to all buyers, building a sense of buyer urgency in order to induce an offer, arranging home inspections, managing qualification assessments with the mortgage lender, supervising maintenance tasks, and facilitating the closing of the deal.
