The Boopsie client is a thin, yet powerful, layer between you and what you are trying to find. Boopsie does not 'contain' the data; it creates and uses special indexes to find the data on other content providers' sites. ... In short - you can type less using Boopsie. Boopsie uses a multi-term prefix incremental search. As you type letters, Boopsie is dynamically searching to find what you are typing - and showing your results in real-time. So, you get immediate feedback and minimize spelling errors. Once you see what you are looking for, you click on it and Boopsie links you to the appropriate web page. Google, Yahoo and others use a traditional form based search. You have to type the whole set of words you are looking for and then hit a Go or Submit button. Then, you have to look thru a bunch of results to find what you're after."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/kris-2007mar-boopsie.gif" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />I haven't tried this application on my Smartphone yet, but I tried out the <a href="http://live.boopsie.com/home/tryit.html">demo site</a> and Boopsie definitely makes search easy and fast. 8) I would love to have something like this for my desktop. On my Smartphone I am concerned that the EDGE data speed will slow this application down. For folks with 3G connectivity this is a great way to search. And for folks with numeric keypads this application will save valuable keystrokes. Another good reason to try it - it's FREE! Put the Google search and Microsoft Live Search aside, and give Boopsie a try. Let us know what you think about this new way to search.
