Edge Launcher
version 1.0 build 13
released 24-May-1997

Have you ever wanted to search for something and thought that you didn't have enough time? This program solves this problem easily. It can search for your search string from any of the 15 search engines added. Just with a click away you can turn the program into a WWW and file launcher which has got an autotype feature that saves you a lot of time while typing in the path for a file on your computer.

What Edge Launcher does is that it opens up your default WWW browser and searches with your selected search engine. You can select the search engine on search click, or you may have one as your default. The WWW and file launcher feature has got an MS-DOS Prompt type executing. If you have a file in your C:\WINDOWS folder and you would like to execute for example Explorer, you just type Explorer in the textbox and press ENTER, this will open up the Windows Explorer.

The supported search engines are:
Alta Vista
C|Net Search
Excite
Filez
FTP Search
GoTo.com
Hotbot
Infoseek
Lycos
Search.Onramp.Net
Shareware.com
Starting Point
Yahoo!
Yahooligans!
WebCrawler

Edge Launcher is extremely easy to use. If you'd like to change from the Search button to the Launch button, just click ESC and this will be done at once. If you've selected that you'd like to choose search engine on search click, then when you click ENTER a menu will popup and you can choose from any of the 15 search engines shown above. All search engines has got a key shortcut, so if you want to search with Infoseek, you just type in a search string, press ENTER and then "I". If you would like to have one search engine as your default one, just choose one from the options window.

In future versions, we'll add a function that'll let the program update itself from the Internet, and add new search engines. If you know of any search engines that aren't shown here, please send them in and we'll add them in future versions.
