5. Uses.

1. Quick search with more than 70 search engines.

The basic concept of each quick search is to type a shortcut of a search followed by a query. Search Toolbar automatically parses the string and executes the query. From the query edit box, users can search or run different commands such as command.com, which can be found in favorites.

To find out more information about each command see the shortcut in menu Search and type "? shortcut"

where shortcut = shortcut of interested search or command.

Example:

? g

shows how to use Google search.

Search command also has additional parameters such as language translation or categories for Vivisimo.

If you typed a query for a search on Google, for example, and afterwards you need to send the same query to yahoo just select yahoo from the menu and replace the old shortcut with the new one.

2. View latest news collected and categorized from more than 3,000 sites.

To see the latest news just select a category and see news that is updated every 15 minutes. All news comes from http://moreover.com, if you check user defined news sites you will open just that site, such as http://www.cnn.com.

3. Add own news sites.

See configuration panel on news tab to see how to add news sites.

4. Check email inbox and show new messages.

Search Toolbar will check your inbox according to the frequency you set, the default frequency is every 30 minutes; the minimum is every 1 minute and the maximum is every 60 minutes. To add an email click on the Configuration panel then the email tab. When Search Toolbar checks your email it doesn't remove messages from the server, it just checks the number of emails in your box. Usually mail programs retrieve emails and then deletes them from the server.

5. Kill web popup windows and save bandwidth.

Popup killer is designed to prevent pop-up and banner ads from downloading regardless of the browser you use. Popup killer will stop nearly all popups. Popup killer reduces the annoying clutter you see on many web sites, and because less is downloaded, your browsing speed improves.

The basic idea of popupkiler is simple, it doesn't open any new windows until the page is downloaded. If you need to open a link that popupkiller blocked you can hold CTRL to open any window. You also can tell how many windows were blocked by a tone that sounds when pop-up killer blocks pop-ups.
