The WhereWasI? Internet Explorer toolbar has already received one 5 star award from a shareware site despite its beta status. We fully expect a large number of such awards for the final version.
The major step from the beta to the actual release is going to be the search speed. The Beta searches at about 300 pages per second on a typical PC. The last test on the new search algorithm was about 7 pages per second! This was debug code, the even in the release code the search speed at the moment would be much slower. However our new search code has the feature that the more pages there are too search, the faster it will go, and we estimate when you have 30,000 pages to search, it will search at least 50,000 pages a second. Tomorrow some further testing and benchmarking will put this to the test.
Meanwhile back at the web site, our Alexa ranking continues to make good reading, showing a 500% increase in the sites ranking in the last 3 months.
