Introduction
------------
Mozzle Std is a fast and powerful domain name tool.

Mozzle Std includes three main searches. The simple
search is the easiest to use, yet still powerful. The
advanced search allows you to specify independent
groups of alternative words with individual settings
for the position of the words in the domain name and
if they are optional or mandatory. The detail search
displays all details for the given domain names and
URL's.

Other features include direct registration of
available domain names, browsing to the web site of
registered domain names, sorting, printing, and
exporting search results, a list of more than 400
domains, configurable search performance, built-in
domain name and product news, saving and loading
word lists, patterns and domain selections, and more!

** For advanced brainstorming features upgrade to
   Mozzle Pro! Mozzle Pro adds:

- A built-in automatic thesaurus/lexicon of more than
  110,000 alternatives to over 11,000 words to find
  hundreds of similar domain names! As a simple
  example Mozzle Pro can search for domain names such
  as "topcycle" and "bestride" (and all combinations)
  when searching for the domain name "greatbike".
  Simply enter your search, select the number of
  thesaurus alternatives, and Mozzle Pro does the
  rest!

- An advanced pattern/character search with 5
  wildcards and optional and alternate domain name
  parts allowing you to precisely control domain name
  generation and find the best domain names.

- Net Speak(tm) to generate alternative spellings to
  domain names such as "4kidz" for the domain name
  "for kids".

- Direct US, UK and Canadian trademark searches for
  the generated domain names, based on the domain
  name as a string and as individual words.

- Automatic acronyms based on the words in the
  generated domain names.

- Identification and display of the expiry date of
  registered domain names (where available) within
  a configurable number of days so that you can find
  domain names which are about to expire!
