THe Seamonkey Project

Web-browser, advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client, IRC chat, and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one application.

Features of the SeaMonkey^® Suite

Browser

• Tabbed browsing gives you a better way to surf the net. You no longer have to open one page at a time. With tabbed browsing, open several pages at once with one click. Plus, your homepage can be multiple pages, in tabs. And if you mistakenly close a tab or window, functionality to Undo Closed Tab or Window helps you bring it back to continue working with it.
• SeaMonkey's powerful Add-ons Management provides almost infinite possibilies to extend your Internet experience both through installing additional functionality created by others and even freely developing your own extensions and providing them to the rest of the SeaMonkey community.
• Feed detection notifies you when web pages offer RSS or Atom feeds, and feed preview lets you view their contents and choose a reader with which to subscribe to those - including an internal reader in the Mail & Newsgroups component of SeaMonkey.
• Smart Location Bar enables you to search your visited web pages right when typing in the browser's location bar and finding what you want to re-visited as fast as possible by learning which pages you visit frequently.
• Popup blocker lets you surf the web without interruption from annoying ads.
• Image Manager lets you block images to remove offensive images or speed up the rendering of web sites.
• Find as you type gives you another way to navigate a page. Just start typing to jump from link to link or to find a word or phrase within a page.
• Session restore brings back all your open windows and tabs after the rare occasion that SeaMonkey crashes - and if you wish even when you close and reopen the browser or restart your computer.
• Plus all the features a modern browser should have including: Advanced security settings; Password, Download, and Cookie managers; Web form autocompletion; Themes; toolbar customization; multi-language and multi-platform support; and the latest in Web Standards.

Mail & Newsgroups

• Tabbed Mail lets you manage your mail and folders in parallel, without losing control of where you're at when reading, replying to and working with messages in more complex patterns.
• Junk mail controls help you take back control of your e-mail from spammers. SeaMonkey's adaptive junk mail control gets smarter with use and is personalized to the e-mail that you receive.
• Manage your mail with customizable Tags and Mail Views. Color code your e-mail to help you prioritize. Sort your mail with views to help you through your e-mail much faster.
• Multiple Accounts support helps you manage all your mail through one interface.
• Feeds and Blogs is a reader for RSS and Atom feeds right in your messaging center that eases your reading of information from all across the web.
• SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups includes Enterprise ready features such as S/MIME, return receipts, Address Books, LDAP support, and digital signing.

Composer

SeaMonkey's powerful yet simple HTML editor keeps getting better with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and delete of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers. For all your documents and website projects, Composer is all you need.

IRC Chat ("ChatZilla")

Chat on IRC networks with this simple yet powerful IRC client. Multiple networks and channels are easy to keep track of in a familiar tabbed interface.
You can change the look and feel of the chat with motifs; choose from several built-in motifs, many more downloadable, or create your own with CSS.

Web Development Tools

• DOM Inspector enables you to dig into the document structure of web pages, add-ons or even the SeaMonkey "chrome" itself and inspect a huge number of properties of any element in that structure, including JavaScript objects and CSS styles.
• JavaScript Debugger ("Venkman") lets you debug JavaScript code on your websites, add-ons and even in SeaMonkey itself with a suite of powerful debugging tools.

HOW GOOGLE SEARCHES ?

HOW GOOGLE SEARCHES?                                                             

In the beginning the internet was much like a big collection of waste plus useful documents scattered pervasively .Finding information was then , a much breath-halting task .Early search engines were like rudimentary life-forms ,most of them got the basic job done .But as more people desired to connect on the world wide web ,their limitations and dependence on the information that content creators put on so-called meta-tags (strings of text that identified the content of the page in the source code )meant that such engines were liable to be beaten.                                                                                                                       

Then came the now mega search engine giant Google .What google did was ,it organized the information a lot more better .Instead of depending on the text of the web page to determine the search results ,it determined the page ‘s influence using a variety of factors –like how many times a page has been visited Or linked to.
But there is more to the internet than google and more to search as well .Microsoft’s CEO steve Ballmer had said that five years ago google was just a a small fish in the pan ,as Microsoft readied its (then) latest search engine .Microsoft did not get too far then ,but laid the foundation for an effort that churned out bing ,its search engine launched last year .The engine uses a similar algorithm as google’s page rank algorithm. PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page,[1] used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted byPR(E).
The name "PageRank" is a trademark of Google, and the PageRank process has been patented (U.S. Patent 6,285,999). However, the patent is assigned to Stanford University and not to Google. Google has exclusive license rights on the patent from Stanford University. The university received 1.8 million shares of Google in exchange for use of the patent; the shares were sold in 2005 for $336 million..
Google founders Larry page and sergey Brin have spoken of their fears of being outsed by a new comer .Google is the laeder in serach but yahoo's Carol Bartz is looking to catch up .
