Search Scopes

When you want to find something online, search scopes allow you to choose the location you want to search.

On the left  is Lotus Notes 8, the right Firefox.  Both products let you simply click on the left side of the search box to be provided with a drop down list of choices of search engines.

In a future version of Lotus Notes, I hope it will be easier to develop, install, and manage additional scopes, as well as a catalog of them open to the community, with lots of developers contributing!   I believe all of these things are being worked on.
