META SEARCH Application: Simultaneous Topic / Keyword Directory Sesrch Selected WebSites Software

The software I have in mind would *simultaneously* search several internet directories.

These directories are free, but some may require a one-time user registration, so the software should accomodate that requirement in the initial set-up process.

The program would have a pre-loaded set of internet directories and also offer the flexibility to add more later ... either in a product upgrade / revision or anytime by the owner if he / she finds a directory that they want to add.

I have not decided if I want to:

a.) sell this software as a stand alone product or

b.) use it as a feature / function on my web site as a traffic generator

I have a idea about developing a variation of both a) & b) above ... but want to discuss costs, etc.

An example of the type of *look / function* I have in mind for a 'web based' application can be found at:

[url removed, login to view]

The above is basically a menu driven site search application, but it will give you an idea of what I have in mind for a broader mutiple search directory.

Will share more details if you are interested and you will sign a NDA which I will fax or email to you.

p.s. I do not want to build my own directory. I want to provide website functionality and/or stand alone software that can be uploaded to server that enables this functionality.

Many of the directories I want to search appear to use the Google *site-search* utility ... so using the Google API may be possible / practical to keep development costs down.

Plese let me know if you have any questions.
