My New Pages

The My New Pages tab provides a chronological view of the pages you've backflipped. This way you can quickly look at the pages you've recently filed, whether Backflip did the filing for you or you did it yourself. Most importantly, it provides a quick way to see how your pages are currently filed and let's you re-file them easily. The most recently added pages are shown at the top.

Filing Pages: You organize your information into groups by filing pages into folders.
Editing Pages: Change a Title, Description, URL or folder by clicking the [Edit] link.
Deleting a Page: Click [Delete] next to the page listing or select Delete Page while editing the page.
Searching: Enter part of the Title or Description in the search box and click Search My Backflip.
View All Preferences: Select View All Preferences and then select the preferences you want to implement. Click the Make Changes button when you're done.

Searching
Find your pages without hunting around. In the Search My Backflip box, simply type keywords from the Title, Description, URL or the actual Web site. Additionally, get extra-accurate results by using the following advanced search methods:

Exact Phrases: For exact phrases, use quotes (" "). If the page you're looking for has a Title with two words or more, enter both words enclosed in quotes (e.g. "ski racing" or "argentina budget travel"). Then click Search My Backflip. This also works well if you remember a phrase in the Description.

All the Words: For all of the words, use the term AND. For instance, if you're seeking a page about learning how to play flamenco guitar, try entering the following: guitar AND instructions AND flamenco. That search will result in a page that has all three words: guitar, instructions and flamenco.

Some of the Words: Alternatively, use OR between words when you want results that contain only one of the words. For instance, to find pages which contain the word "guitar" or the word "music" enter the following: guitar OR music.
