Keyword Merge - a utility for search engines and browsers

About Keyword Merge

Keyword Merge 1.0

	A web research utility that helps narrow your results when using search engines. Keyword Merge works similar to a mail merge - it merges fields from a data file into search terms submitted to a search engine. Before installing on Windows Vista/7/8/10 please create a folder such as 'C:\mystuff\Keyword Merge'. Then, when prompted by the installer use the new folder as the destination. To install the 21-day trial version of Keyword Merge, download and run the installer: from Download.com (CNET)

Major Features
		keyword/field merge: merge a field, or multiple fields, from each record of a data file into search terms (keywords) submitted to a search engine, where each record of the data file represents an individual search.
		URL surfing: designate a field of a data file as a 'URL Field'. With this feature, Keyword Merge can be used as a quick way of cycling through URLs (web pages) that you would like to revisit on a regular basis.
		hot key: assign a hot key to merge/search each record of the data file without having to leave your browser.
		data manipulation: change merged field data (keywords) dynamically when the search is being submitted; convert to lowercase, and/or remove specific words or phrases.
		browser launch: Keyword Merge will launch your browser if it is not already open. This allows you to initiate a search from your desktop.
		Always On Top: make Keyword Merge stay visible over other windows on the desktop.
		customize: Keyword Merge can be customized by hiding the menu, resizing field widths, etc.
		data file compatibility: Keyword Merge can load any CSV (Comma Separated Values) text file. Typically, the CSV text file will have been created by an application such as a spreadsheet or database program. Keyword Merge will also load plain text files that contain a single column (field) of data.
		data file preferences: preferences for each data file (search terms, field widths, and current record) are saved automatically, and are restored the next time you load the file.
		OS support: Keyword Merge was tested on Windows® 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. Since the introduction of User Account Control in Windows® Vista/7/8/10 you will need permission to create/edit a file in the folder in which Keyword Merge is run. When prompted by the install program (setup.exe) change the default folder (using the 'Change Directory' button) to a folder for which you have permission.

Other Possible Uses
		Keyword Merge makes a great CSV (Comma Separated Values) text file viewer.
