Xippee Windows All-in-one Installer Editor's Review

Xippee Internet Explorer Plug-in is most unusual plugin I've seen so far. When I say unusual, I mean the fact that it brings a novelty in a field where I thought that there's no more room for improvement. Well, this add-on proved me wrong.

When you first install it, you need to get accustomed to using it, since it will not appear in any toolbar or context menu. The add-on can only be used when searching the Internet using a search engine: Yahoo!, Google, Live search, Amazon, and so on.

Using the program is pretty simple: you have to double click or select a word or phrase contained in the description of the search results. A balloon will pop up containing the 'plus' and 'minus' symbols. You can click on the 'plus' in order to see more results of a search after the initial item and the selected word. Clicking on the 'minus' symbol will exclude search results containing the selected word. So, you can perform more detailed searches getting more relevant results every time.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: The program won't work immediately after the installation. You need to perform a few searches first, during which, you browser may act in an inappropriate manner.

In conclusion: This is an interesting Internet search add-on which can definitely quicken up the search for items together with an increase of the number of relevant results.
