Type and Search lets users enter full sentences as well as multiple key words. Copy and Paste lets users highlight a substantial amount of text in a document and paste it straight into the search query box. Drag and Drop offers user the k-check option. The last one, k-check, offers particular advantages. Susan Feldman, leading author and lecturer on sophisticated search engines, suggests that k-check could become one of those small killer apps that change the way people work.
Users can download the k-check software and put it on their desktop.
In an environment of effortless transitions into and out of the Net, this kind of feature could become revolutionary, according to Feldman. If users want to dig down a few layers into sites, they click on the links symbol to access more information from a particular site. If they want to go directly to the site s home page, they click on the home symbol. In the Company and News zones, users can further refine searches using the InfoSort business categories, e.g. by business sector, context, and country or location. At this point, Snyder says, the Company Zone only targets some 6,000 company names, but they are expanding that area.
