SYPC - web search and new page as NoteTaker power duo
Much of my daily use of NoteTaker revolves around searching, gathering and locating information. But it has to be convenient in-order to be efficient and this is when creating a power duo on the Toolbar becomes a "subtle yet powerful combination" or "SYPC" for short. Currently, my favorite "SYPC" is the side-by-side arrangement of the New Page button and the Web Search Field on my notebook's Toolbar.
Whenever I need to do a new web search, I typically open my research notebook from the Dock using a Page Mark and then press the New Page button on the Toolbar to get started with a blank page. I then perform my searches selecting a search service from the Web Search box pull-down list as needed, type my search string and watch as my web search results begin to appear in my notebook. From here I can both archive or clip and annotate the results as needed to reference later. But it's now in my research notebook.
Everything I need to search web sites and feeds is right at my fingertips. There are other SYPCs like this but this is my daily favorite and one of the many reasons NoteTaker has enhanced my research workflow.
