Who Needs FirstStop WebSearch™?

FirstStop WebSearch™ is for individuals, corporations or organizations that want fast, quality internet search results that can be refined at "desktop" speeds and saved in useful formats.

Why Search Multiple Search Sources?

A single search engine only holds a small percentage of the information available on the Internet. In addition, there is very little overlap from one search engine to the other. A good selection of multiple sites significantly improves the quantity and quality of search results.

The meta search (multi-search engine search) provide information coverage, independence from the nuances of particular search engines, and speed. They also provide a measure of robustness since they are not tied to a particular search engine.

Features

• A new real-time filter displays your search results in an efficient graphic display that can be best described as an inverted tree with branches. Each branch of the tree shows your search results sorted and grouped by words and phrases most frequently found in your search results and can be easily viewed by a simple click of the mouse. This quick look view provided by the "Discovery Tree" makes a large number of search results manageable by its interactive design for sorting and its side-by-side detail view.
• Query Builder ( Business and Visual Edition Only) - · An exciting new feature is the ability for the user to conduct an advanced search without any knowledge of "Boolean" operators or complex database language. The FirstStop Query Builder lets the user use a simple Wizard to fill in the search criteria. As the user enters the information, the FirstStop Query Builder dynamically builds the query with all the proper syntax. The user can actually watch the query being built and changed as the search criteria is entered and modified.

• Advanced Filter* (Business and Visual Edition Only) - Due to popular demand we have added the ability to enter Boolean expressions in the results filter. "Advanced Filter" provides the user with the power to form arbitrary Boolean expressions containing the keywords AND, OR, and NOT, quoted and grouped with parentheses.
• Save and Export Search Results - The user can save search results in a Web Search Results (.wsr) file format.
