Use the special keys

Search
Press the Search key to search information on the current screen or application. For
example, while in the Contacts tab, press the Search key to search contact-related
information such as names, phone numbers, or e-mail addresses in your contacts list.
Press the Search key while in Maps to search for places of interest. Press the Search
key while in the Home screen or Browser to launch Google search and search
information on the web.
In any search bar, enter the information you want to search, and then press
again, or touch the Search button on the screen.
Menu
Instead of pressing the MENU button, you can press the Menu key on the keyboard
to open the menu for each screen. This means that, with the keyboard open, you
can open the a screen menu using your left hand (by pressing the Menu key) and
select a menu option with your right hand (by rolling and pressing the TRACKBALL).

Create application shortcuts

You can set keyboard shortcuts that open individual applications when used
together with the Search key. For example, if the shortcut to the Browser
application is "b", and then on any application screen on your device, you could
press + b to open the Browser application.
