Developer’s Description

Store typed words that can be used as search terms.
Look up any highlighted text in a Windows program on the Internet using a hotkey. Alternatively use the recent word buffer to search for words you've already typed. Multiple pre-configured search engines and locales, and customization capabilities. The program is safe, secure, and self-updating, ensuring that it remains compatible with the search engines for which it is configured. Ideal for researchers and journalists. Version 2 of Surf Sense provides context-based Web lookups via a hotkey from almost any Windows program, in addition to the recent word buffer.
