Trooker Guide

Trooker Search

In the search field, at the top right of the screen, you can enter any word or phrase that describes the subject of the video you'd like to find. Trooker's patented search engine will quickly produce results for you, ranked by relevancy or other categories you can choose from, in the grid below the search field.

The videos will now start playing for you in their entirety in the Trooker viewer. You can watch the videos that come up in the order they appear, or choose specific titles merely by clicking on the title in the grid. You can also move forward or backward through titles one-by-one by clicking the forward or reverse buttons at the bottom of the view screen. If you don't want the results to play through in order, uncheck Continuous Play and you will only see those videos which you click on.

You may expand the size of the search return box to view more results at once simply by clicking the bottom of the box and dragging it down. Use the scroll bar to scroll through results.

The default search scans all available sources, but if you want to search from specific sites, uncheck  All and check those sites from which you want to conduct your search.

The Trooker search engine will take you directly to the source site by either clicking on the view screen while the video is playing, or by clicking the link to the video in the information box below the view screen.
