Google Search By Email

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Hi peeps,

Another search mechanism for Google.  I'm including the section of E-
Access Bulletin describing it, below.  If you have a focussed (or
general) interest in technology highlights for the blind, please

Exerpt:
*4: SEARCH THE WEB BY EMAIL.

A service allowing people to use highly accessible text email to
search the web using the popular search engine 'Google' has had
nearly 60,000 users in the five months since its launch.

The bulk of those using the service are likely to have done so
because the smaller connection time it requires means searching is
cheaper or because it enables them to search easily using handheld
devices.

However, the service has found favour among blind people, who find
their screen readers work better with text email than the Google web
page.

One frequent user told E-Access Bulletin, "I have used it quite a
lot, but then I also find the web page quite easy to use also." He
did however find fault with the system because it only returns up to
about 20 matches.

The service is run by web software firm Cape Clear
(http://www.capeclear.com). To use it, send a query in the subject
heading of an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Exerpt ends.

    Intuition (n): an uncanny sixth sense which tells people
    that they are right, whether they are or not.
