Let's say you have a particular file or application that you want to be able to refer to by a shorthand nickame or alias, and you want it to come up instantly in results. For this you want to create an alias.
Aliases can do very complicated things, but this is the simplest kind of thing you can do, and will be a good first introduction to creating your own aliases.
Try this as the easiest way to add a new alias for a file:
| • | Drag and drop any file or program from any other program into the Search Edit Box of FARR, to have it show up in results. |
| • | OR simply search for the file or program inside FARR until it shows up in results. |
| • | Then, right click on this result to select it, and choose the menu "Add to Group Alias". Then choose the last menu item labeled "New Alias Group.." |
| • | Then in the dialog that appears, just type in the short name you want to use as an alias for this file in the "Group Alias Name" box, and click the Ok button, leaving the other options at their defaults. |
| • | All done. Anytime you want to find this file just type its short name (alias). |
