Developer’s Description

By Deno Morris Group
Search whatever you want in the Internet.

WinSwitch is a simple web search tool that uses text copied to the clipboard and opens the search results that are returned for the keyword(s), when you click on the tray icon. It takes only 3 steps - highlight the word, copy, click the tray icon, and the results are shown in your browser. It currently supports Google, MSN and Yahoo. You can configure it to use a specific language for the results and also set your Boolean preferences. WinSwitch also provides a Favorites browser to access your IE Favorites from the system tray and a screen capture utility.

Version 1.4 may include unspecified updates, enhancements or bug fixes.
