Ok, so i decided to make a new thread on this, if a mod would like to remove the old one from here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18087216 that would be great. The new thread will hopefully attract fresh attention, and people willing to test the program and report any problems as its easy for me to overlook many, and in some cases, it may work flawlessly on one persons pc, and not so well on another.
Brief Description:
Anyway, whats this all about then? for the past few months (maybe 4 months overall) with bits of spare time ive had ive been developing some software to allow a much better searching experience (hopefully!). It works with google, but digs deep to find all kinds of content you probably didnt even know you could find. With the ability to search for media (music, videos, images etc) in a completey legal way. Off course, with any search engine, you wont find what you want instantly without looking abit, my software tries to narrow the time down.
A good example is the image search feature of google. How long does it take you to setup the advanced search each time? My Google Searcher tool has built in functions to deal with this.

Intro aside, im looking for people to test this. It seems to have lost a lot of interest from my old thread, but since my last release a whole ton of things have been improved, not just visually but technically. And also, i have created a custom installer/uninstaller that can be used (tested on xp and win7)
Helpers will be added to the about window as shown below!
Apart from the Google Searcher, there is a Theme Builder tool i have been working on (also for a couple of months), which allows you to create your own theme background image, icons etc. I have included a demo test theme to try.
Finally, the screenshots and download link: (note, the titlebar appearance is because of window blinds, not my program
)

Maybe this time, more people can be involved (the original public google searcher i released was pretty primitive
)
Mostly i just want to know if it works, i.e installs ok, runs ok, themes load/save ok etc..
for now though i need to take a break from it all, but will answer any questions or problems anyone has with it (hopefully none!)
Remember, this is not 100% complete, but is not far from it now, a lot stable compared to older releases.
