Soople

It's Google, but made easy. There are all sorts of different ways of searching using Google, and this site offers a really good way of accessing them all. It's a student's research dream.

The author describes his philosophy:

Soople is an early English dialect, which means 'to soften, make supple'. That's exactly what I envisioned for this site ; a site that softens all the fantastic (advanced) functions Google offers. Initially I made this site for my mother, who, though computer-savvy, still didn't know about all the possibilities Google offers. This site is therefore meant for all those who are not yet familiar with all the functions and required syntaxes. This way Soople enables an 'easy expert search'! (Via Bibi's Box)
