With the HowNow Chrome extension, you can search your HowNow content from any web page, from Chrome's address bar, or alongside your Google results.
Before you start
You need the extension installed and signed in. It works in Chrome on a computer only.
Search from any page
Select the HowNow icon in Chrome's toolbar. The HowNow panel opens on the right of the page.
Type your search in What would you like to know today? and press Enter.
To narrow the results, select the filter icon, choose a Source, Type, Duration or Language, then select Apply.
As well as your HowNow content, results include Experts, From the Web, content libraries and any apps you've connected, such as Google Drive or Confluence.
Search from the address bar
In Chrome's address bar, type
hownow, then press Space or Tab.Type what you're looking for and press Enter.
The HowNow panel opens on the page you're on, showing the results. On a new, empty tab, HowNow opens in the tab instead.
Turn on Google results and the side shortcut
Select the HowNow icon in Chrome's toolbar, then your profile picture, then Settings.
Tick the options you want:
Show results from my HowNow library within Google search results. Matching HowNow content appears in a row above Google's results. Select View All to see every match in HowNow.
Show HowNow Browser Extension Shortcut. A small HowNow tab sits on the right edge of every web page; select it to open the panel. Tick Show shortcut only when mouse pointer is on the right side of the screen. to keep it out of the way until you need it.
Set the HowNow homepage as the default New Tab landing page. Each new tab opens your HowNow home.
Select Save.
The changes apply to pages you open or reload from then on.
Good to know
HowNow results on Google appear only on the All tab, not on Images, News or other tabs.
The extension's Settings also has Language preference, which changes the extension's language only, not HowNow's.
These options are stored in your browser, so set them again if you use Chrome on another computer.
