We tried our best to keep things plain and simple. Links to all services and options
usually starts from main Home page. If in any doubt about your location, just go
to Home. Home is always 1 click away from anywhere with in the site.
Searching & Finding it
You should find a search or Find it box almost anywhere. You can use:
keywords
or,
natural question
(Our search engine will make the meaning out of it and find what you might be looking for)
or,
Boolean Syntax
Example:
+curryguide means the WORD curryguide must be present.
"curryguide weather" means the PHRASE curryguide weather must be present.
+curryguide -weather means the WORD curryguide must be present but the WORD weather should not.
You can equally use 'AND' and 'NOT' connectors instead of '+' and '-' connectors.
To avoid it all, simply use the Advance Search option.
Live Search
Metasearch and channel content search options fetch the best sites from multiple remote sources and
present them after necessary processing and sorting. You can (optionally) select the Live Search
link to activate/deactivate live-Search. When live-search is On you will see the dynamic
status as the results from each remote source being fetched and their status.
You will also see the final statistics in textual form at the bottom of the results.

included in your search. To do so, you can select/de-select the sources right in the
search box where all the available sources are listed.
Note: If you de-select some sources (exclude from the current search); you should see
a Continue button appearing below the final statistics in textual form. This button
will enable you to continue this search with remaining sources (engines).
