Searchautomator

The Internet is a treasure trove of information for just about any subject you can imagine (and some that you can't, I am sure). There are various methods for finding the information you want or need, some more effective than others. Today we take a look at a program that not conducts your searches, but also helps you to fine tune them to maximize the resources you are using, and returing the results need without the undesired extras.

The program is called Searchautomator, and is the culmination of many years of work by the author Derek Franklin. This program will change the way you search the Internet. For most people, when they go looking for stuff online, they get it all wrong! They simply turn to their favorite search engine, such as Google, or Yahoo - they enter a query, hit search, and hope for the best. If this is currently your search method, not only are you probably frustrated and wasting too much time, but you're missing out on an absolute wealth of great content (information, audio, images, video, and more). Searchautomator helps to do that by keying on two simple premises: 1) Identify key skills/processes of how an expert searcher discovers information/content online, and 2) include, and where possible, automate these processes within a single, easy-to-use interface.

A picture is a thousand words, and at this site there is a presentation of the key features of the program, as well as a free video shows it high points. There are so many benefits to the program that rather than mention and rehash them here, I would simply ask you to visit the site and see for yourself. Derek has a well designed page that makes the information readily available and easy to understand. I am sure you will find it easy to understand and even easier to use.
