Step3
You decide which "POWER WORDS" are relevant to your search and which ones are definitely not.
Drag and drop couple of the relevant "POWER WORDS" to the "ADD TO SEARCH" basket and drag the irrelevant words to the "REMOVE FROM SEARCH" basket.

Step 4
Congratulations! You've just created a better search query.
Hit the search button again and get improved results relevant to your exact needs, and more "POWER WORDS", if needed.

Now you can really start playing.
Try dragging more "POWER WORDS" into the baskets and search again.
Drag words from one basket to another, moving them around.
Continue to improve the query and get the results you really want.
It is Fun, Easy and Effective.

Have more questions? Not sure what each basket does?
Click on the small question mark on each basket for detailed information.

"POWER WORDS"
These words, retrieved by SortFix's algorithm will advance your search in the most significant way.
Power Words can be dragged and dropped to (and from) the "ADD TO SEARCH" basket, "REMOVE FROM SEARCH" basket or the "DEFINITION" basket.
"POWER WORDS" are carefully selected and updated at every search according to current search query.

(more)
Double click on the "POWER WORDS" title will update the words without performing a search.



"ADD TO SEARCH" basket
Dragging words to this basket will add them to the search query.
Adding a word to a search query will retrieve only the search results related to that word. More words reduce the number of the search results (So choose wisely).

"REMOVE FROM SEARCH" basket
Dragging words to this basket will tell the search engine to remove all the result containing this word.
This is a great filtering tool - all of the unwanted result will be removed, leaving you only with related results.
Word in this basket will automatically receive the operator minus in the textual search query.

"SYNONYMS" icon
There is more then one way to ask a question, and more then one way to answer it.
For example if you are searching for a used car you should also search for a pre-owned one or even a second-hand car.
By using the synonyms feature you can search all of them at once.
Drag the "SYNONYM" icon on top of a word and release. The search engine will retrieve results containing the original word or its synonyms.

"OR" icon
Want to take a vacation in Italy OR France?
Need to find treatment OR medicine?
Why making two different searches when you can combine them into one?
Drag the "OR" icon between any two words already located in the "ADD TO SEARCH" basket and you'll notices a black line surrounding them.
Need to deactivate it? Drag the "OR" icon once more on top of the surrounded words.
In case your two words aren't close to each other you can drag the "OR" icon on top of one word, you'll notice that the black line is surrounding also an empty space.
Drag the second word from any where to that empty space and you're done!

"DEEP SCAN" button
Each time you perform a search SortFix simultaneously scans the result in order to retrieve the "POWER WORDS. By pressing the "DEEP SCAN" button SortFix will scan further and deeper into the result providing you even better "POWER WORDS" without changing the results page.
Deep scan has three scanning levels; each button press will scan deeper into the results.
For example: pressing deep scan 3 times will execute the deepest and longest scan.

DRAG AND DROP
Click and hold the object you wish to drag (don't leave the mouse left button). Drag it to its appropriate place and release the button.
