Search Automator: Find ANYTHING!
Let me introduce you to one of the coolest tools I have ever used.
It is called Search Automator and you can use it to find just about anything.
Search Automator packs all these powerful features into a single interface:
- One-click Access To The Most Powerful Search Technologies On The Planet – No longer are you confined to the very limited results of using only a single search engine. At any time you’re just one-click away from a whole new world of information/content related to your keyword.
- Integrated Search And Discovery Intelligence – The skills that create a professional information-master are built-in, all you need to do is click!
- Web Searches – Find Web sites, ebooks (PDF documents), Powerpoint presentations, guides, tips, articles, resources, forums, FAQs, checklists , ebooks, newsletters, and more. You have control over the domains searched, the date-range of the content you’re looking for and other options.
- Image Searches – Find images, animations, wallpapers, maps, artwork, and drawings related to your keyword. Search specific domains, select whether you want color or black & white images, and what size images you want. Find news photos related to your keyword, Flash movies related to your keyword, and even recently posted cellphone images related to your keyword (yeah, everything makes online).
- Audio Searches – What are you wanting: audio clips of a speech, a song you just heard, MIDI music you can sing to, CDs, lyrics to help you sing along? It’s just a click away.
- Video Searches – New to the Web (thanks to faster Internet connections) is video. With some of the new video search technologies that are beginning to hit the Web, you have access to news videos, instructional videos, historical videos, and even peoples’ personal videos (that they’ve posted online). When researching a subject, how useful would full-motion video be? Search Automator is the best search tool to bring it to you.
- Reference Searches – Find articles, answers to questions, encyclopedia entries and FAQs related to your keyword(s). Discover how it works, its history, and tap into the Internet Archive (a huge online archive) for finding recordings, commercials, software, and texts related to it.
- Word Searches – What would you like to discover about a word: its definition, a synonym, antonym, quotations it appears in, words with the same meaning, words containing the same letters? It’s better than having an English professor as your assistant.
