Seek Freak's Freeware Toolbar (For Research And URL Submitting). Searches Over 300 Search Engines, Directories And Portals (Ranging From Blogs to Recent News On Stocks)

Last updated @ 12:55 AM on March 24th, 2005 (updated often) to Version 3.24.2005.

Here is our new free advanced toolbar with PopUp stopper built in with (bonus freebies) useful web tracking removal (remove web cache, cover your surf tracks, searched history, remove temp files, clear address bar history, get rid of surf history, remove all cookies, remove documents viewed history, empty recycle bin, etc), URL tools (anonymous proxies, checkers, lookups, etc), internet power searches all at the click of a button! This is our best toolbar release so far (you can see a couple other completely different choices at the bottom of this page), it is our 5th attempt at making a search assistant toolbar software release, hope you like it as much time and thought has been put into it. It is very similar to the G00gle, Yah00 or A0L's Toolbars (except we do not track your web surfing, in fact, we help you hide/cover/erase your web surfing tracks, plus we expose your search readily to over 250 search engines and portals) and can even replace it! Another outstanding feature is the website promotion section that allows you to add your link to almost 500 search engines & link lists/directory.

*NEW* We added a addon popup stopper/blocker (Computer Tools selection) that will stop most ad popups or will stop every popup (even links that are supposed to open in a new window will require "special" key character to be pressed to open them). We added this more powerful and customizable new window popups stopper due to the toolbar's internal stopper is very limited. You can even set this addon popup stopper to start with each new loading of Windows or start it when you wish... We got this idea from other popup stoippers available (freeware ones and shareware ones), but ours is much more basic (no fancy graphics and no support files) so it remains around 23KB in size (very tiny utility)...

*NEW* Now you can search your local drives (IDE/SCSI hard drives, DVD players, CD-ROMS, floppies, USB drives, etc) for files or files containing certain text (programmed 2 small utilities for local computer searching)! Search your hard-drive (and other drives) as easily as you would search the internet! We know that Windows already offers better search capabilities, but we are trying to compete with Google's desktop search, plus our utilities will be much smaller and use less resources (our computer tools are in beta, so far they only tell you where the files are located, we still must make the links clickable to open the files, but it is a start).

*NEW* Now you can download web pages and the files listed (select type or all types) on the page with our mass WWW Downloader addon! This is a separate computer program we have included that allows you to easily fetch files and pages off web sites. Find this tool located under main menu (SirSeek.com's logo button) and then the Computer Tools selection. We got this idea from a program called GetRight, but ours is much more basic so it remains around 25KB in size (very tiny utility)...

Our freeware toolbar passes search terms/variables to 250+ major search engines, portals, directories & meta engines (we offer the most searches in our toolbar compared to any other search toolbars, here are just some of the engines) with limited mouse clicks (saving research times)! Easily research/search top major search engines and portals for data like shopping, MP3s, universities/colleges/schools, organizations, businesses, phone number lookups, address/maps, employment/jobs, FTP file servers (XDCC & Fserve on live IRC too), clustering engines, web site, bit torrent files (P2P), scholastic postings, News, weather, sports, torrent files, videos, certain domains, blogs, computer game cheats, console games, forums, FFA link pages, live RSS & XML feeds, live IRC VIA JAVA chats, BBS postings, local computer disc drives, medical reference, public news releases, journals, research papers, military docs, government research, business listings, 50+ medicine/medical look-up, directories and so much more so fast and easy! Loaded with free web tools and website lookups (whois, ping, port scanner, domain owner, cache, backups, cookie details, IP address, uptime, server speed, etc). Even customizable!

The

button (may not be shown in some screenshots below) allows you to type in a basic domain name or webpage address (no 'http://' or query strings for URLs) to the left and then click the

button to anonymously surf your typed in URL (via anon proxies). Only pages used through this feature are through a proxy, links on the pages may not be anonymous. You can also select to view the cache (incase site/page is temporarily down), see how the site may have looked 'way back', translate a webpage a different language, see an index of just links from the site, server info and domain owner look-up. Make your searches in the format similar to www.domain.com or domain.com (do not use http:// in the string).

Using the

(may not be shown in some screenshots below) button, you can use what URL is already in your 'Windows Internet Explorer's address bar' by using the blue up arrow

image/button/menu to make checks and look-ups on the domain/URL. This allows for page translations, network lookups, URL submissions/submittals (submit your URL to over 100 major search engines for free, where else can you get such good free SEO), print current page, server type, reverse IP address, cookies id/tag, email a web link to friend, bookmark site, backlinks for use as web site rankings (see who links to you), domain owner & server details, and so much more! URL info, Google PageRank and Alexa Rank, language translator, link popularity, position analysis, submit URLs, page rankings, URL fetcher/crawler, keyword density, related links, sites linking to URL, anonymouse privacy with filtering proxy, ping, trace, XML feed (RSS) reader, view HTML source of a webpage, view cookies, DNS lookups, port scanner, finger, save web to image, etc...

URL Submission (multilevel URL submit to 100,000+ link sites and engines, important feature for anyone with a website) features connect you to over 300 places to submit your website URL (you choose where to start URL submissions). Some of these 300 main submits will resubmit your URL to other search engines, free link pages, directories and portals too (only some 100 search engines = a couple of hundred so-called URL multisubmit search-engines/sites, where each one resubmits your website URL to other advertising sites and link pages, many of which resubmit your website URL to 10s or 100s or 1000s of other FFA sites, possibly as high as 500,000)! If you wish to skip Free For All Link (FFAL) pages, only submit to the major search engines (about 150 main engines to choose from). To track down all these URL submission pages down your self would take over a week (we save you time and list the major places for you, even supply a simple/easy URL submit page where you only have to enter email & URL, then submit to 150+ search engines), never mind the actual submitting!

You can zoom in to a page (enlarge both text and pictures/images) for closer viewing, or reverse too (smaller zooming feature). Amazing feature that enlarges or decreases the sizes of the pages viewed!

You can highlight all related search words/phrases on a page, even find each separate existence of the word/phrase per page. You can even have just links highlighted on your page (separate selection).

Search the net in over a dozen languages! Choose a language such as French, German, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, English, Swedish, Greek, Polish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch, etc... Use the

button menu (select translations) to translate URLs (use format www.domain.com/page.htm without "http://") into other languages (English to 7 languages, or translate other languages into English!

Built in popup stopper that blocks from 80%-90% of internet popup ads (enabled by default). You can even block images/banners, this is a great feature for saving bandwidth with dialup users (have your internet experience text-only). We even include in Toolbar Tools test sites to see how well your pop-up blocker settings are working (there's the built in basic popup ad stopper and a addon to prevent as many as all the popups in any new window, you find desired levels).

Easily clear search history (and anonymous surfed pages list) from the toolbar's search/posting areas from an easy to click selection from the main menu (attached to our logo). Sometimes we all wish to hide the 'silly searches' we perform...

Easy to uninstall (uninstallable) this toolbar if you do not like it. In fact, right under our main links (our logo button), you can find the uninstaller link! We do not force you to keep this toolbar if you decide that there is too much search power for you to handle. Also, there is a link added to your 'START' menu under the programs section (Program Files\SirSeek Toolbar\Uninstall) for complete uninstalling and deleting files. Incase you wish to remove some features (but not all), use the toolbar options to customize the toolbar's layout.

Easy to configure our toolbar through a simple configuration/options page. You can remove practically any button to minimize web browser space usage or perhaps you do not need a certain feature. Over a dozen options that will literally allow you to remove each or any feature, even our logo/links!

Great research software that's 100% free to use forever! Great for med students researching (we have over 50 medical, prescription drug info and resources that are health and medicine related only), fun to kill some time and make sites do silly things (try out the Weird URL Tools like Pig Latin, reverse/flip, Smurf, Redneck, etc), great for lawyers (and assistants) to use the Law/Legal search categories, great addons for webmasters to better promote their sites (many URL tools, submit site to over 300 search engines), great for online marketing stats as we let you search the big shopping/merchant sites, great for computer "newbies" who do not know where to find information or where their local computer tools are, great for gamers to find cheats and games, great for finding multimedia online (like MP3s, videos, photographs and may other file types can be searched), great for programmers as we list source code sites, great for assistance of learning languages as you can search many languages or translate pages to a different language, great for nurses to look-up minor details as we list many medical resources to search, great for high school students to research for essays and reports, great for just about anyone! Even nurses & doctors at our local hospital are testing a version (customized non TagWare version made without many of the add-ons and customized logo for the hospital) of our toolbar (so far with good results and comments)!

*Our toolbar never transmits any collected data to the software publisher nor to third parties and never connects to the publisher's website, not even for software updates (you must install the newer version).

Why is it free? What's the catch? Well number one, we want to be competitive with the other major search engines who also supply free toolbars, so we are doing the same and offering a free web search toolbar. There is no catch other than the toolbar has our links in it and we hope by giving you a free toolbar, you might visit our site more often or tell others about our neat toolbar. Also, we wanted a better/best toolbar to use ourselves, so constantly making it better is a pleasure because as this toolbar search tool gets better, we can use it to save us time when researching or checking domain name rankings. Our toolbar helps us get more traffic to SirSeek.com, so more traffic saves us having to advertise, now we can give away such software for free! If we didn't try to offer the best toolbar around (so many search engines available), you wouldn't even bother installing it and we would not get returned visits from you or possible new 'word of mouth' traffic. So it's kind of a link trade deal. And finally, we really made this toolbar for our own use, we wanted particular features (and friends requested a few) that would have required having about 12 other toolbars installed but we wanted them all in one! We really do not care if people download this toolbar or not as we are happy enough using it our selves (we are just being nice and sharing it with the world freely for now, may make it shareware after too much development has gone into it so get it while you can for free). Because it is free and we have put weeks of work into this project, we have made this version TagWare (when you go to another site, it leaves a tag in referral stats of our URL in hopes that others will see the tag and visit our URL).

BTW: Once these addon tools are completed and added to our toolbar, we will no longer be giving our full complete toolbar for free.

We have not yet started breaking up the toolbar, so enjoy our almost full version available for download before we start to cut it down.

Our toolbar is 100% freeware (NOT shareware, trialware, demo, beta, crippleware, etc)!
