Watson for Hotline 2.6 provides you with a very useful and ideal Hotline File search tool which incorporates the 411 Search Engine to provide you with fast and easy search results. What makes this method so fast? Imagine all the time you waste while searching on the Web. After the server performs the search, your browser has to parse the code, download the images, and display the final result. All of which can take quite a long time on a 56K modem. Watson simplifies the process showing just the results, and nothing else. It even allows you to take advantage of the CacheBack! feature to go back to previous searches without wasting time.
Another feature of Watson is that it tracks your Downloads and Bookmarks. This feature tries to act like ICQ other Instant Messengers. It tells you when the unfinished download can be finished. The same goes for bookmarks. When your favorite server is online, Watson will tell you.
There are other features spread throughout Watson which are for you to find. For Example, click on the bottom right-hand corner of the search box and you'll be able to access previous search words (Kinda like a search history). Other features include the "Hiding" of Watson when it is not in use. But already we're giving away too much. Explore...enjoy...and have fun!
