1. Why use Bloodhoundsearch? (Was: Why is Bloodhound Search the most reliable search system?)
Bloodhound is different than all other search engines because it provides you with a “Hound” that never stops looking, looking, looking, 365/24/7. After it finds information directly relevatant to what you are looking for, it uploads the information to a website where you and others can view 24/7.
2. What makes Bloodhound Search different from the other 3000 plus search engines?
It’s different because it keeps on looking, looking, looking. And it can be be refined and improved by unique methods no other search tool provides.
3. How can I best use Bloodhound Search for my research needs?
Suppose you are teaching English Literature and your focus is on WB Yeats and you wanted to find out what British resources and/or British teachers are saying about Yeats. You granulate your search to precisely “tell” your “Hound” what you want it to find;the information returned by the Hound can be viewed by your students 24/7.
4. What is a Hound? (was — What is SIMS?)
“Hound” is the name we have use to designate your personal search tool. For example, you might have a Hound named “Yeats” which would search for all aspects of the WB Yeats; or would only search for finely selected articles about particular works by Yeats. (The metaphor “Hound” was selected because you have to help “train” the “Hound” to find exactly what you want.)
5. Can you help me customize my Hound — (was) SIMS?
YES — to an extent. We are a small company with a big concept, so we have to be very careful with making promises we can’t keep. What we would like is help from Hound Owners to guide us on how we can better automate the customization process. In this regard, please visit our (blog) or write to training@bloodhoundsearch.com
