Direct Search for iPad

1. Introduction

When you use a search engine, such as Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google or Yahoo, the search results are pages and pages of links you need to comb through. It is not uncommon to click on lots of links with interesting descriptions until your find the most relevant ones. After checking out 4-5 pages of links you give up. Then you may refine the search criteria and do the whole process all over again.

Now you can search a set of URLs directly using the same search criteria. The search results are not links, but a set of mini-browsers for each URL. Now you can easily examine each, delete the irrelevant ones and decide which ones to concentrate on. Each mini-browser can be displayed full screen or in Safari where you have full conrol over it, e.g., printing it, bookmarking it, adding it to your reading list or viewing the webpage ad free.

Direct search is a great way to do comparative shopping. Say you find an item in a Brick & Mortar business and want to compare its price with other online retailers. Or you want to take in a movie and want to simultaneously check out the next showing at multiple movie theaters nearby. Or you need to find an apartment and want to examine multiple apartment sites for the best deal. Or you are planning a vacation, say a cruise, and want to check out prices on multiple cruise lines for the near same same route. Or you are trying to find a job and want to check out available positions on multiple job sites.

Not only are you presented with a large number of search categories, each with numerous associated URLs, but you can manage the list, deleting categories and URLs not of interest and adding your own categories and URLs for your favorite websites.

2. Overview

The screen is split into 2 panels. The left panel is where category actions are made while the right panel is where the search results are displayed. The right panel is also used to display documentation and input dialogs.
