1Banana Shakes Up Internet Search Industry with PowerStart and SearchRight Facilities

Innovations Save Time, Provide More Accurate Search Results

ORLANDO, FL (PRWEB) June 27, 2003

Quicomm today peeled the wraps from its 1Banana.com (one banana dot com) metasearch engine with PowerStart and SearchRight facilities.

1Banana PowerStart provides one of the fastest ways to start a day on the Internet. Users just login into 1Banana PowerStart, and every web page they want opened for that specific weekday will automatically open in a unique browser window. Most importantly, each weekday's set of pages can be completely different. PowerStart is easily customized, letting a user add pages to, delete pages from and copy pages between each weekday. For added convenience users can simply put an alias of their 1Banana PowerStart login page in their Startup folder and all pages for that specific weekday will automatically open when they restart their machine.

A user can setup their own free PowerStart account at:

One significant benefit of using web based PowerStart is that it lets users open their most favorite sites from any browser, running on any machine, located anywhere in the world. And unlike most software based URL managers which must be purchased,the PowerStart service is completely free. When used in conjunction with the 1Banana.com metasearch engine, users will quickly find the new information for which they are searching and have a very convenient way to automatically return to familiar sites.

SearchRight is a built-in spell checking facility for the 1Banana.com metasearch engine. Each keyword phrase submitted to 1Banana.com is checked for other possible spelling combinations. Unlike other search engine spell checkers which might suggest a single alternative search phrase, 1Banana lists every search term in its own popup menu. Each popup menu consists of related keywords based on similar spellings or phonetics. Words which appear to be misspelled are highlighted in red. In this manner a user can readily resubmit their entire search query by simply choosing other suggested keywords from popup menus. In addition, SearchRight checks for words which run together, such as "orlandofloridahotelsdisney". Such a query will rarely return any search results with most major search engines. 1Banana, however, properly dissects such run together phrases and returns the desired search results.

The 1Banana.com search engine with PowerStart and SearchRight can be accessed at:

http://www.1banana.com

and is free to all web travelers.

PowerStart and SearchRight are just two of several innovative features which Quicomm will be releasing as part of 1Banana.com. Licensing opportunities are available.
