How do I access my WebMynd History?

WebMynd supplements your Google search results with your history and Delicious bookmarks. Just go to Google and search as you normally would. If WebMynd or Delicious has results which are relevant but which Google has not already given you, they will be displayed to the right. You can select which of WebMynd or Delicious to display by clicking on the boxes to the right of the Google search box. You can turn off these feature in the Tools->WebMynd Settings menu.

Access your WebMynd History by clicking on the WebMynd icon to the right of the URL entry bar at the top of your browser Window. You can also search WebMynd from within the browser using the search plug-in. If the search plug-in is not already installed, you can get it here.

Can I access it offline?

Yes, if you have Firefox 3. This is still in beta, so we only recommend you upgrading to Firefox 3 if you are an advanced user. When offline, just type in the URL as you normally would and WebMynd will magically take you to the recorded copy! Whether you are online or offline, you can scroll back through recorded versions of a page using the up and down buttons on the toolbar (Alt-z to go back in time, Alt-a to go forward)

Note that you'll only see these icons if you have Firefox 3 and are on a page which has already been recorded. Also, remember not to clear your browser history or set it to automatically clear after a certain time. If you don't want the browser to record particular pages, the use WebMynd's stealth mode.

Can I share WebMynd pages?

Your WebMynd collection is completely private. However, if you would like to share interesting pages with the community we now offer a publish button. When you first select 'Publish', you will be prompted to create your own Thumblog were you can collect and share thumbnails of the pages with your comments. You can also choose to publish the pages to the OpenMynd from the same prompt.

How do I turn recording on and off?

Set the recording mode using the dropdown menu next to the WebMynd icon. Normal history means that WebMynd does not record, but Firefox saves history as normal. Stealth mode ensures that even Firefox saves no trace of your history.

How do I block pages from being recorded?

In the Tools menu set pages that you never want recorded. You can also stop WebMynd search results from being displayed in Google results pages from this window.
