The software will extract domain names that appear on every page that you browse, and then automatically check to see if any are available for registration in the background. This needs to happen in a small side bar to you can see the names being extracted in one box and counting how many unique domains it extracts and then another box that lists all the expired names it finds. Maybe a check box option that allowes it to extract only hyperlinks or domains and hyperlinks. The names that are found then need to be somehow set up to do a search in the top 8 or so search engines to check if they are listed there and also possibly a number or links that poing to that domain name as well. Theres needs to be a full version that will check an unlimited number of domains and a demo version that will only check 100 domains befor it needs to be reset or some kind of a nag screen. I can provide you with a sample of a similar browser that does close to what we want if you need. We also want to be able to easily rebrand this browser depending on which of our sites we are selling or giving it away on. Any added ideas you may have as well..

India Bid id: 395,834   $149 (USD) Nov 20, 2002 2:30:00 AM EDT  9.58 (Excellent)     Bid From Gunjan Karun Hi, I specialize in developing applications using ASP/PHP/CGI-Perl/Visual Basic as the front end and Text File/XML/MS Access/SQL Server as the database.  I have extensive exposure to working with the IE and client side scripting technologies and related applications. Here is how I can add value to your project. 1. I can provide you a clone of YahTool or Ultimate Domain Browser etc, these are commercial utilities that works exactly like your requirement. 2. Since the software would NOT maintain a whois information, it would query in REAL TIME and parse the expiry date and related information. Hence you'll always get the latest status of domain names. 3. You would have the feature to use proxies for querying the internet to be used by this software 4. Using this software you'd be able to maintain a list of about to expire domain names too, i.e. domain names that are about to expire in couple days/weeks/months time. 5. You would also have feature to schedule your queries 6. You would be able to modify the list of top 10 search engines. Since I would be using a rule based parsing engine for your application, it would be very easy for us to increase the list of search engines to query or to provide update files to the customers whenever the page layout of the search engines are modified. 7. We can also work out some sort of registration process where the software would be a trialware with nag screens/limitations and after registration it will be a full featured software. 8. The coding would be as per industry standards and would be heavily commented. Hence if you go through the source, you'll figure out very easily what is being done and why. Hope to hear from you soon Regards Gunjan Karun Bid Summary Duration Fifteen Days Cost USD 149 Technologies Used Visual Basic, MS Access 2000, Text File to store the logs Coding Standards As per the industry standards and extensively commented Deliverable zip file containing all the source and step by step instruction on how to install and use the software.           See 35 private reply(ies) to/from Gunjan Karun.
