Searching

What would the Web be if you couldn’t search it? Silk is ready to play host to Google and its main competitors, and offers several search features of its own—right in the web address oval. You first met its finding powers at the start of this chapter (Visiting a Website), but it also has two other hunting tools:

  • Basic searches. To recap guidance from earlier in this chapter: Tap any tab to summon the search oval and then touch the oval to start typing. The auto-suggest helper kicks in as soon as you hit the keyboard. Begin with pe and you’re likely to see a list of recently visited pages that, somewhere in their title have those two letters. Tap ahead to pepp and suddenly all that history makes way for search suggestions: pepperidge farm, peppa pig, pepperdine, and so on. (The same list is horizontally swipeable across the top of the keyboard).
