GuruNet.
The Guru of the Net. The name says it all.
At the editorial desk of AFRICABIZ Online we are
constantly in search of the most accurate definition
of a word, the most relevant technical article linked
to Business Opportunities In Africa, or up-to-date publications
and news about political and economic events unfolding
in Africa.
Therefore we make an extensive use of search engines.
One day, a staff member reviewing AFRICABIZ Online's
page on
Information Technology came across GuruNet. The developers
claiming that GuruNet is the "cadillac" of
search engines. The features listed sound impresive.
So we decided to give it a try.
We download the trial version and installed it. And
found out that GuruNet is what the developers boast
about. A true Search Tool packed with features not found
in other Search engines.
You just need to highlight and ALT + Click on a word
in any Windows application and you get GuruNet's popping
window opened to the Dictionary page. On same page you
have access to following tabs:
1-
Thesaurus. 2- Quotes About (the highlighted word).
3- Translation (Dutch, French, German,
Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish,
Swedish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew!). 4- Images. 5- News.
You will never get all above listed search results
with any other single Search Engine. It's simply wonderful.
GuruNet is doubtless the Guru of the Net that delivers
to you in real time valuable information. You get the
most accurate search result for any research, in all
lines of businesses and knowledge.
You can work straight from GuruNet. It integrates seamlessly
with Internet Explorer. Mouse's Right Clicks are handy.
You can browse websites and add links to your Favorites
folder; but you cannot invoke a file from the Favorites
folder straight from GuruNet. You can search for acronyms,
technical terms, company descriptions, stock quotes,
news, sports, weather, maps. There is an extensive conversion
tool in the Library that helps you make all kinds of
conversion. If for instance you ALT+Click on the name
of a country from a Windows application you get everything
about that country: currency value and conversion tool,
maps, last news.
GuruNet is a must have for a researcher in any knowledge
line, for a writer, a student, a writer, a journalist.
It cost US$ 34.99 for a single license. A small investment
that will save you time and help you produce brilliant
reports.!
