MarmotSearch is especially useful when:

* You need to search for keywords on:
o Intranet sites
o Internet sites that are not indexed by the search engines
o Sites which you feel should contain them



* You desire a logical ranking system for your keyword search, based on:
o Highest value for each unique keyword found
o Medium value for keywords proximity
o Lowest value for total keywords found
o Rank and status (number of pages searched, approximate total, and percent complete) are updated every 5 seconds



* You have discriminating taste when it comes to software:
o Freeware
o Lightweight:
+ Tested on systems as meek as a pentium 75
+ Size and first download only 28 kilobytes
+ Does not change windows registry
+ Fast startup
o Accurate:
+ Uses the complete content of every found page to search, including invisible text
+ Try the "finer search test" by first googling or yahooing for your keywords. Then click and drag a few results into MarmotSearch. Typically MarmotSearch finds additional pages
o Platform independent:
+ Written in Java and so is operating system independent
+ Tested on Linux, NT, XP, 2000, MacIntosh, Sun
o Sparse CPU use and so surprisingly fast, especially if you have a relatively fast internet connection, and don't search too deep



* You desire a personal web crawler/spider to search your internet, not one chosen by the search engines:
o MarmotSearch is a search engine which runs real time on your computer
o MarmotSearch gives fresh results, not ones cached from the past
