In depth
A closer look at Search Favorites
This fast, dedicated tool helps you maximize the value from your Internet Explorer Favorites. It helps you to find the Favorites that you think you have - but cannot remember where. It helps you to file the new Favorites you want to save. It helps you get rid of the old ones you no longer need. The heart of Search Favorites is its almost instantaneous search facility combined with a unique tree view and a set of keystroke and mouse operations that let you move round it very quickly. It does lightning fast searches in both the Favorite title - the name you see when you click on Favorites in Internet Explorer - and in the URL, or URLs, behind that title and vitally, the folder names that you use to organize your Favorites. The special tree view has many features to help you pin down exactly the Favorite you want including checkboxes for selecting and de-selecting hits and a choice of fonts and colours to help recognition. Using the tree you can change the properties of selected Favorites or start up Windows Explorer on a folder and organize your Favorites and folders with it. With later versions of Windows you can see thumbnails of Favorites in their folders. Extensive help is included with How Tos and reference sections. Use it for finding Favorites, yes, but also use it to check if you have already bookmarked the site you are currently viewing and lastly, use it to find similar Favorites so that you can bookmark the current site into the most appropriate folder. The installation process is selective so only the modules needed for your installation are downloaded. Everything is virus checked and digitally signed and checked on download. The installation uses Microsoft's Windows Installer Version 2, as included with Windows XP, and we upgrade your version of Windows Installer as needed using the Microsoft supplied installation. The download is a minimum of 1.3MB but may go as high as 6MB if you are running a very early version of Windows 95.
