Everything works perfect in the XP/2003 build. Anyway, thanks for the update. Unfortunately, Qflyer looks worse in this build. Everything works perfect in the XP/2003 build.

I'd like to make some points: * Browserless Search, in other sense, can simply be a Program-to-program communication like Copernic Agent, WebFerret or Konfabulator Search, which has been existing since a long time. With the concept of browserless search, we're also trying to make websearch more usable, faster, convenient and just plain fun, instead of providing tons of advanced that an average user would hardly use anyway. * We'd have loved to include Google, but their API limit of 1000 searches/day seems to be inadequate for an average Quber. Also, they allow only one account for personal use, not useful for a desktop application. * Siel is somewhat similar to Wink. * Perhaps, you missed QFlyer. It exhibits the 'browserless' part of Qube. Useful even for people who always stay inside a browser. Regards, Ebrahim Ezzy Thanks for the write up, James.
