Aliases - Dumb Newbie Question :)

[katykaty]

This is probably going to sound so stupid, but here goes anyway 

Let's imagine that I have a shortcut called µTorrent, and let's also imagine that I don't have a µ key on my keyboard. Finally, imagine that I always get surprised when I type utorrent into FARR and don't get any results.

How can I tell FARR to look for µTorrent when I type utorrent?

RingTFM has made me even more confused I'm afraid 

You may rate this question for stupidity on a scale of 1 to 10 

Thank you

hah
I barely know what an alias is

Have a look at this thread

I think it's pretty well covered there

I take the blame for not making the alias system easier to use.

There are different ways to do it, but here's the easiest way to do it:

• First, find µTorrent inside FARR any way you want, even dragging and dropping the µTorrent exe into the FARR search window.
• Now right click on it and choose "Add to group alias" and then the last item in that submenu that says "New alias group"
• Now give your new alias the name that you want to type: utorrent

All done.

You can see a video screencast that shows most of the steps here:

about 1:30 minutes in.

Or, you could just look for torrent

Thank you all for not scoring me 

And especially to mouser - the screencast was the key, now I realise just how straightforward it was.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

And skajfes, yes, you'd think I could do that, wouldn't you. But my fingers insist on tapping the u

nice screen cast, best part was the "neural bayesian reasoning" !! WTF!
