What is CrazySearch'98?
_______________________________________________________

CrazySearch'98 is a collection of hundreds of query 
forms for all kinds of search engines. It is the fastest 
way to find the information you need by eliminating the 
need to click through slow loading webpages. 
CrazySearch'98 delivers the query forms right to your 
fingertips - from the most popular search engines like 
Altavista to the most exotic. 

Need to calculate a loan or mortgage? 
Want your name in hieroglyphs? 
Need to know the time in Kenya? 
Want to make a travel reservation? 
Searching for a quote from "Hamlet"? 
Searching for an American Airlines flight? 
How many miles are 589 Kilometers? 
How far is it to Sydney, Australia?
Looking for that specific recipe? 
How safe is travel to Guatemala?
Who starred with Michael Douglas in four movies? 
Want to track a package? 
What happened on June11, 1912? 
How many seconds, minutes, days or time to the year 2000? 
How wealthy is a dictator like Saddam Hussein? 
Which words rhyme to easter?....and so on. 

For all these questions and many more you could use a 
general search engine like Altavista which returns 
tens of thousands of hits. Or you can use CrazySearch'98 
and get right to your topic. We have collected (and keep 
collecting) all kinds of query forms which make it easy for 
you to find any information. With CrazySearch'98 information 
is a click away. Just load CrazySearch into your browser 
(Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer etc.), click on 
the topic you want to research, fill in the query form 
and then go online. 

This package contains 10 query forms from the initial 
package of 100. We will be adding between 50 and 100 
hundred query forms each and every month. 
(see Distribution below).

Installation and how to use
_______________________________________________________

No installation required. Just unzip the files and you 
are ready to go. CrazySearch'98 does not modify any 
system files and does not write to your registry.

By default all files are unzipped to a folder named 
"Search" on your c:\-drive. If you want CrazySearch'98 
in your "Program Files" Folder unzip it to 
C:\Program Files. The folder "Search" will automatically
be created. 

To start searching using CrazySearch'98 make a shortcut 
to "search.htm" on your desktop or doubleclick 
"search.htm". This index will then be loaded into 
your browser. To have CrazySearch'98 at your fingertips 
make it the starting page in your browser. Whenever you 
need to find something on the internet, fire up your 
browser without connecting to your service-provider 
(but with CrazySearch'98 as starting page), 
fill in the query and then go online.

If you want, you can rename the folder after unzipping 
to whatever you like or move it to any subdirectory you 
want it to be. There are no additional files installed 
anywhere - just the files for CrazySearch'98 and its 
subdirectories.

If you do not need or want or like one of the query 
forms, just delete its folder in the subdirectory 
(then of course the link in the index to that query 
form will not work anymore).

Uninstalling is equally simple: Just delete the whole 
directory of "search" or whatever you renamed it to.
