Quick Start Guide to

                            Using the Browser Extension

We’re pleased that you have installed (or will soon) the free version of the SetSee Personal Edition product, a browser extension for your Chrome browser that is available in the Chrome Webstore.  Once you have installed it, be sure to pin the SetSee extension’s icon to the Chrome Extension task bar at the top right of the Chrome window.

Using SetSee requires 3 simple steps (we demonstrate this in the 20-second video image at right, captured as an animated GIF while we accessed a Wikipedia page, started SetSee, and searched for the word china):

  1. Go to any web page (use the same Wikipedia page as we use in the screenshot video to the right if you want to be sure SetSee will work for you the first time).
  2. Start SetSee by clicking on the SetSee icon in the browser’s extension toolbar or by using the shortcut Ctrl-Alt-s.  This opens the search panel in the lower right-hand side of your window, with an input field for your search terms and links for Help & Preferences (to change its behavior for you).
  3. Type a word or two in the input field.

If you don’t want to install it yet, you can still experience it with the demo pages.  And once you have installed the extension, see the list of good pages to try so you can try the extension on various types of content that do work well.  SetSee does not work on all pages, and not at all with pages that have a fancy multi-column layout, like the home pages of many magazine and newspaper sites (e.g., the NY Times) or Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, but it will in the future.  You can make SetSee auto-start via the Preferences link in the panel; this will let you “surf & SetSee” to get a feel for where it works most usefully for you.

  Hold your mouse over the Help link in the lower

   right of the search panel and these 8 lines of

   advice on how to write your search terms will
  pop up above the panel.  It’s the complete
  instructions on the SetSee search notation.
