ABOUT MOZZLE PRO

Mozzle Pro is a fast and powerful too that enables
YOU to find the ultimate domain names.

Mozzle Pro allows brainstorming using a built-in
automatic thesaurus. A simple search such as "fresh
food" with thesaurus alternatives set to 5 will check
over 80 domain names!

Four main searches are provided. The simple search
is the easiest to use, yet still powerful. The
advanced search allows you to specify independent
groups of alternative words with individual settings
for the position of the words in the domain name, if
they are optional or mandatory, and the number of
thesaurus alternatives. The pattern search includes
6 wildcard characters and allows optional and
alternate domain name parts to be specified. The
detail search shows full details for the given
domain names or URL's.

Mozzle includes Net Speak™, a feature that generates
alternative spellings to domain names, such as
"4kidz" for the domain name "for kids".

Other features include direct trademark searches,
automatic acronyms, direct registration of
available domain names, browsing to the web site of
registered domain names, sorting, printing, and
exporting search results, free upgrades for
registered users, a list of more than 400 domains,
configurable search performance, built-in domain name
and Mozzle news, saving and loading custom word
lists, patterns and domain selections, and much more!

CHANGE HISTORY
27-Nov-2001 v3.01
  Fixes
  -----
  - Fixed problem with displaying of the true domain
    name status for .org and .net domains during the
    21-day evaluation period. This problem was not
    present once Mozzle Pro was registered.

12-Nov-2001 v3.0
  New Major Features
  ------------------
  - Added a domain name search engine popularity
    rating to all generated domain names. A new
    column has been added to the results grid to
    display the popularity rating. The higher the
    rating the more often that terms in the domain
    name have been searched in the major search
    engines in recent times. The calculation of
    the popularity rating can be disabled in the
    options dialog. Note: A database of the
    frequency of 200,000 search engine search
    terms is used to calculate the popularity
    rating. A rating of zero means that the search
    term is not in the database. This is usually
    beacuse either the search term is very common
    (such as "the" or "and", and therefore ignored
    by the major search engines) or uncommon.
  - Added filter results options. Filtering can be
    applied to the domain name availability,
    the domain names generated, and the popularity
    rating after a search is complete. The filter
    options are available on the Edit menu and
    from the results popup menu.
  Enhancements
  ------------
  - Added load and save of details search term,
    which can be selected from the File menu or
    from the popup menu for the details search.
    Edit operations have also been added to the
    popup menu.
  - Added a Scroll With Results option to the
    display settings. The results grid scrolls with
    each new domain name generated. This option is
    disabled by default.
  - Added a search option setting for the number
    of days in the past in which to display the
    expiry date for registered domain names that
    have already expired.
  - Added a Save All Advanced Wordlists option to
    save all advanced search options in one file.
    There is no need to save each word groups
    settings separately any more.
  - Added multi-column results sorting, which is
    used by clicking on the primary column to sort
    and then by shift-clicking on sub-columns. The
    sort index is displayed in the column heading.
  - Added the Copy Results option to the main Edit
    menu for convenience.
  - Set input focus to the results details when
    viewing the search details for a selected
    domain name. This allows easy scrolling of the
    details using the keyboard or mouse wheel
    without having to click inside the details
    first.
  - Added more independence of the Mozzle News
    window from the main window so that the main
    window is usable during the download of news
    items.
  - Now uses Windows help instead of HTML web pages
    for the online help. This allows for enhanced
    help contents, index, and searching features.
  - Several other minor enhancements.
  Fixes
  -----
  - Fixed Display Hints option, where the new
    hint setting was not being set on the main
    window until the next time Mozzle was started.

    thesaurus alternatives setting was not loaded
    correctly in the simple and advanced searches.

    .org, and .net domains introduced in v2.30.
