Inquisitor was primarily a Safari only add-on which integrates with the browser search bar and display the instant search results dynamically as you type your search query and keyword in the search bar. The add-on is now available as a beta for Firefox as well as internet explorer since the project has now been acquired by yahoo.com.
Once the add-on is installed your default search engine in the browser’s search bar would automatically be changed to inquisitor and you can start using it instantly. As you start typing your search query the inquisitor’s drop down window automatically appears and start showing you the relevant websites. The inquisitor window also displays the number of visits to a website which was already visited from that specific browser where the inquisitor has been installed.
Inquisitor is configurable and you can set quite a few options according to your own liking. For instance, the default search engine which inquisitor uses is yahoo.com (obviously since its own by yahoo now) but you can always change this to Google from the inquisitor settings windows in the browser options page. Unfortunately Yahoo and Google are the only options available and the users might like to have more search engines added to this list.
You can also configure additional search engines like flickr, wikipedia, youtube etc in order to search these websites directly from the inquisitor search bar. Type in your search and click on any of the additional search engine link and you would be taken directly to the search results of the that website. Very handy.
An inquisitor application for iPhone will also be available soon as mentioned on the iPhone section of Inquisitor website and would be a handy web search tool for iPhone. I will post more details once this is available.
I recommend this fantastic browser add-on for everybody. Visit http://www.inquisitorx.com/ to download the extension for your browser and start searching smartly.
[...] An advanced search companion for popular Internet browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari, Inquisitor has had an instant love from me since the day I have installed it in my Firefox. [...]
