This feature allows you to navigate websites more efficiently by letting you jump instantly to the entry point of any site, lifting you out of the site's inner pages. KEY TERM SnapBack A Safari feature that returns the user to the entry point of a website, regardless of how far into the siteor subsequently linked sitesthe user has wandered. When you visit a bookmark or enter a web address manually, Safari "marks for SnapBack" the page where you arrive at the site. This means that no matter how many subsequent pages you visit by clicking links found on the siteeven if those links take you to entirely different sitesyou can always find your way immediately back to the first page where you were taken by the bookmark or the manually entered address, simply by clicking the orange SnapBack icon in the Address bar. The Google search box in the upper-right corner of the Safari screen makes use of the SnapBack feature as well. If you use the box to do a Google search, you can prowl through the sites that Google returns, looking for what you want. When you decide that the site you've been looking in doesn't have what you're after, simply click the SnapBack icon to return to the page of Google results.
