This file deals with a variety of subjects related to the Transfz search agent. Some of the information contained herein is introductionary content from the included help file and other information is concerned with the support and licensing aspects.

Transfz (pronounced transfuse) is an integrated search agent, it allows the user to launch online searches from any document or application on both the desktop and the web.

The search takes place by simply selecting the bit of text that one would like search for and pressing the default hotkey (ctrl+d). This brings up the Global Menu which behaves like any standard windows context menu except for the fact that it can be called up anywhere and lets the user pass the selected text automatically on to his favorite searchengine (or dictionary, thesaurus, or any other online encyclopedia or wiki).

Externally Transfz supports a wide range of browsers (I.E 6-7.x, Opera 8.x, Firefox 1.5-2.x and more are supported). The search feature of Transfz is but one in a complete line-up of workflow improving features that comes included.

The following are examples of what Transfz can do when out-of-the-box standard configured.

• Quickly launch a lookup in any online dictionary, searchengine..etc. through the Global Menu (ctrl+d).

• Assign hotkeys directly to searchengines so that one keypress (ctrl+w) can look up a term directly on Wikipedia (bypassing the Global Menu).

• Extend the clipboard; insert text by selecting among the last 5-30 entries of copied text, an immense time saver for professional users.

• Perform powerful macro editing by using the Extensions, allowing for an example direct text manipulation in ANY editable text form (i.e. perform search and replace on selected text in a webmail browser session).

• Improve Transfz's search capacity by using the build-in Plugin Creator to easily allow your favorite searchengine to become an omnipresent standard in your desktop/web experience.

• Use Extensions to do any type of text or code manipulation in easy basic syntax, an number of extensions are already available in the default Transfz installation. Do you or your company have certain procedures that needs to be applied to incoming data (email or other) every single day? Why not simply write an extension to take care of the work and spend your time on something better, as Transfz itself provides the framework that integrates into Windows you can focus on the data and forget about GUI programming.

• As a private user you can see basic usage statistics by hovering your mouse over the tray icon - gauging exactly how much faster your computer usage is after you installed Transfz.
