. .. Could use much
Apr 24 at 7:51am
Karl Valentin As i understand out of reading the Fine Print I cannot get an upgrade to the next major version at 50% off with this Deal.

Is this correct?
Apr 24 at 9:32am
Christopher Kennedy I apologize for the misunderstanding. This download DOES qualify you for free updates to minor versions and 50% discounted upgrades to major versions as well as free life-time support.
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 24 at 4:42pm
Tony Haynes Is it possible to tailor the program to incorporate one's own bespoke selection of online resources? For example I often use a rhyming dictionary ( www.rhymezone.com/ ) , or at other times technical dictionaries in specific fields.
Apr 26 at 2:54am
Christopher Kennedy At this time, no feature exists in Southside Solutions Simple Search to add your own selection of data sources. However, per your suggestion, we are investigating this as a viable option for an upcoming release. Thank you for your time and interest in Southside Solutions software on BitsDuJour!
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 26 at 4:55am
Bjondc If I want to use this on two computers I would need two licenses, right? Would I be able get them both on the "free" offer using the same email? Could I be the "same person" but with different emails (possible but a nuisance)? Or what?
Apr 26 at 10:14am
Christopher Kennedy To run Southside Solutions Simple Search on two computers concurrently, you would need two licenses. You can obtain as many licenses as BitsDuJour terms and conditions permits. There is no limit imposed by Southside Solutions, LLC. Thank you for your interest in Southside Solutions software on BitsDuJour!
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 26 at 7:26pm
Tony Haynes Looks like BDJ limits it to one 'purchase' per user!
Apr 27 at 12:16am
Cyrus Masroori Does it run on Windows 8?
Apr 27 at 12:17am
Curt Henning de Thurah You do not need to purchase more than one copy, because the downloaded installer does not need a key, so you may install more than once.
Apr 27 at 12:27am
Christopher Kennedy Yes, Southside Solutions Simple Search does run under Windows 8 desktop mode! Simply switch to the desktop and launch the application from its' shortcut.
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 27 at 12:34am
Christopher Kennedy Curt Henning de Thurah: You should be aware that you will be in violation of the End User License Agreement if you use the installer on more than computer. One installer entitles you to installation on a desktop and a laptop, to be used individually.
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 27 at 12:42am
Tony Haynes Thanks for clarification on dual use.
Apr 27 at 12:57am
Curt Henning de Thurah @CK: I dislike your use of my name; I was merely responding to the people saying it is not possible to purchase more than a single copy - the Bits du Jour box does not accept more than "1".
Apr 27 at 1:32am
Tony Haynes Two queries:
1) Is there a way of retaining the last search term (or even a series of them as options) in the interface to allow for the same search under a different heading?
2) Can the program be set to avoid opening each new search in a new tab (or does this have to be set in Chrome's own options)?
Apr 27 at 2:24am
Christopher Kennedy @CHdT: Southside Solutions works hard to deliver quality software. To propose the dishonest act of abusing the EULA was not appreciated. Southside Solutions apologizes for any misunderstandings.
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 27 at 2:41am
Christopher Kennedy @TH: At this time, Simple Search does not retain records of searched terms. Queries must be manually entered or copy and pasted. Per your suggestion, we are investigating the viability of including said feature in the upcoming release of version 2.0. Also, the new tabs option is one specific to your web browser. Simple Search sends a message to the browser where the browser itself decides to reuse or open a new tab. Thank you for pointing out an opportunity to improve our product. Southside Solutions appreciates your interest in our software!
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 27 at 2:59am
Bjondc The License says "one machine" but here you say "one computer and a laptop" so which is correct? I do have a pretty-much desktop-bound-laptop and a "real" laptop.
Apr 27 at 6:23am
Bill Sech Made this purchase on bits. Received the download link. Did download the zip folder. Windows won't let me access it without changing permissions. How do I change permissions on a zip folder I did not create?
Apr 27 at 7:38am
Christopher Kennedy Each license allows installation on a single computer and a laptop, but Southside Solutions Simple Search may not be used at exactly the same time on each of them - which would be hard to do either way as you would have to type on two keyboards. Install it on both of your computers per the clause above and enjoy. Your desktop-bound laptop and your real laptop do not violate the license agreement as it exists. Thank you for using Southside Solutions software and BitsDuJour!
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 27 at 7:50am
Christopher Kennedy @BS: Extract the contents of the .zip archive to a location you can easily access, i.e. your desktop, and run Southside Solutions Simple Search Setup. You may be presented with a UAC dialog to confirm the installation. Continue with the installation by following the on screen prompts until the installation is finished. If you need further assistance, please do ask. Thank you for using Southside Solutions software and BitsDuJour!
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 27 at 8:04am
Bill Sech Nevermind rebooting my comp, has solved everything for some reason.
Apr 27 at 9:05am
Bjondc Thank you for the clarification.

Zee Uptwist Get Ready For SPAM!

And absolutely NO WAY to 'unsubscribe'.

I accepted a 'free' offer ('Word of the Day') from Southside Solutuons last year and have been receiving their spam ever since. To beat that, I never even installed the software! Accepting the offer was enough to get on their spam mailing list.

Thanks a lot Christopher Kennedy!
Apr 27 at 10:54am
Christopher Kennedy Zee Uptwist: Southside Solutions does supply an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each e-mail we disburse - it reads "To unsubscribe, click here." As a Limited Liability Company, Southside Solutions follows the letter of the law to avoid problems, hefty fines and penalties associated with unsavory business practices. We have not been black-listed by your e-mail server because we abide by the law and maintain CAN-SPAM compliance. I have personally gone through our database and manually added you to our exclusion list using the e-mail address supplied to me. If you signed up with more than one address, you will continue to get e-mail at those addresses until you click the appropriate link in the appropriate e-mail. I am glad to have been able to personally resolve your problem. Southside Solutions, LLC prides itself on its' proven track record of exemplary customer service and satisfaction.

Robert Newman Just downloaded this software. I'm constantly looking for and researching ideas etc. This is a fabulous time saver and will be so much more incredibly useful once you can add your own selection of data sources............I love it!!!!!!
Apr 27 at 7:37pm
Nick Katz It seems very handy. Thanks.
Apr 27 at 8:05pm
Jerry S The idea has potential, but I don't see any advantage over just using Google. Plus, I am unable to uninstall it under Windows 7.
Apr 27 at 11:34pm
Rex I read with interest every comment with about this fine software but I find myself stumped on one issue that was never answered. Why did Mr. Curt Henning de Thurah dislike the use of his name by Mr. Christopher Kennedy?

Was it because CK used his full name? Or because CK used his name? Or because CK did not use just his initials? Or was it really for another reason? I excitedly await a response.
Apr 28 at 12:54am
Christopher Kennedy To uninstall under Windows 7, utilize the Programs and Features Control Panel.
Southside Solutions, LLC Vendor - Apr 28 at 12:56am
Jorma Nahkola Hello! For some reason, i didn't receive my registration code + download link. Spam folder already checked. Order # OlTTLI

Bjondc I uninstalled -- without trying the s/w too much -- because I CANNOT ABIDE the little widget on the screen with no option to hide it! It is extremely annoying.
