Here are some key features of "FirstStop WebSearch Standard Edition":

· 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 ( Deluxe 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.
