Fact200 description
Both an Internet search tool that allows hover-previewing and real-time filtering of results and a RSS feed reader

Fact200 is an Internet search application which runs on the Intel platform. It is a traditional utility like MS Word, or MS Excel which runs on your computer instead of within a website.

Fact200's main purpose is to overcome interface deficiencies when searching through web based search engines like Google or Yahoo. As the Internet continues to grow, the amount of legitimate data, as well as illegitimate noise, rises proportionally. This information is already bursting outside of the 'Top Results' zone for most complex research topics and will continue to do so.

Here are some key features of "Fact200":

Pre-Fetching
· Ensures that web pages actually exist and downloads them in parallel. Pre-fetched data also feeds into the preview, index, and library mechanisms.
Previews
· Pre-rendered previews allow you to quickly view web pages through hover browsing or slideshows and to view thumbnails of any size.
Indexing
· Web pages are indexed (with support for non-latin based languages) so that they can be easily retrieved or sub-filtered.
Library
· Stores web pages along with their previews on your computer for quick retrieval, portability, independence, and privacy.
Customizable Sources
· Allows you to query or retrieve web pages from a variety of sources including search engines, usenet, and RSS feeds.
Real-Time filtering
· Results will appear as you type when searching through the Libary providing a more fluid search experience that allows for more experimentation.
Real-time term suggestions
· Allows you to find the correct spellings, misspellings, or variations that will yield results.
Unicode support
· Search in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian or any other language that Windows supports!
No Frills
· Cookies, ActiveX, and javascript are disabled to prevent tracking, malware, and popup ads from interfering with the search experience.
· Personalized Search
· Search history, favorites, and browsing patterns are all stored to provide a personalized search experience. All data is stored on your computer/disk and never transmitted over the Internet to maintain privacy.
· Sorting
· Sort web pages by last viewed date, content date, load dates, or score.
· Saving
· Save result sets to preserve a specific list of web pages.
