Blackle Search Description

Blackle Search is a small gadget that enables you to quickly look for information in the online environment via the Blackle search engine. It is easy to install and set up on the desktop. Blackle uses the Google Custom Search, so it's no different from using Google, from the technical point of view. However, Blackle Search uses black pixels instead of white ones, in order to save up energy (the homepage even shows you how many Watt hours have been saved overall). The app's UI is based on a small frame that you can move to any position on the screen, with the help of the mouse cursor. So, all you have to do is write some text and click the Search button or hit the Enter key. Blackle Search brings up a window in the default web browser and reveals search engine results. Unfortunately, the gadget does not integrate any options of its own. But, thanks to the operating system's settings, you may open the context menu to adjust the frame's opacity level (between 20% and 100%) or to make it stay on top of other windows. Blackle Search is not a concern to the computer's overall performance, as it runs on a very low quantity of CPU and system memory. It is very responsive to key strokes and mouse commands. We were not alerted of any error dialogs in our testing, and the gadget did not hang or crash. All in all, Blackle Search supplies users of all skill levels with a straightforward solution to using the Blackle search engine.
