How to search faster from the address bar

  1. To open Microsoft Edge, click on the  icon on your taskbar or desktop.
  2. If you want to carry out an online search, simply type in the topic in the address bar (where you write the name of the site you want to visit). This will give you a range of answers without your having to visit a search engine.

  2. On the top right hand of the Microsoft Edge window, click on the star. 
  3. Click on the right hand icon labelled ‘Reading list.’

How to simplify the appearance of a web page

  2. Adjust the reading view style and font size to suit your needs by clicking on the icon with three dots (‘More’), selecting ‘Settings’ and scrolling down to the reading options.
  3. To exit reading view, simply click on the book icon again.
