Facebook Image Searching
Activating the facebook image search
Though configuration is not required for Kangaroo to function, certain key elements of the Kangaroo search engine rely on configuration data. Kangaroo has the ability to crawl through facebook and search for profile pictures that match a specific person based on their email address. If facebook images are not being displayed for you in Kangaroo, you can enable Kangaroo to find facebook images by opening a new tab, logging into facebook, and then continuing your use of Kangaroo while facebook is logged in. If you want to permanently allow Kangaroo to obtain facebook images without having to log yourself into facebook manually each time you are using Kangaroo, consult the following section on allowing permanent access to Facebook search.
Allowing permanent access to Facebook search
To provide Kangaroo with your facebook login information, so that it can automatically login and obtain image files, follow the following procedure.
Step 1: Click on "Tools" in the top menu bar of your Firefox browser. In the tools drop-down menu, you should see a "Configure Kangaroo" option.
Step 2: Click the
"Configure Kangaroo" option to open up the Kangaroo Configurations Editor. The Kangaroo Configurations Editor will open in a new popup window.
Step 3: At the bottom of the Kangaroo Configurations Editor you will see a box for
inputting facebook username and password. Input your facebook username and password into these fields.
Step 4: Press the "Submit Data" button below the fields. At this point,
your data has now been safely stored in the Firefox Password Manager for use by Kangaroo. You can now exit the Configurations Editor and continue use of Kangaroo. You should
no longer need to manually login to facebook each time that you want Kangaroo to look up facebook images.
