Software Keyword Searches

Refining Your Search by Manufacturer or Platform

Enter one or more keywords in the Enter Keyword box using any combination of product name, manufacturer and type of software product. If you use more than one keyword, the search engine restricts the results to products that match all the keywords.

For example:

• entering "graphics" in the keyword box finds all graphics software
• entering "symantec" finds all Symantec products
• entering "virus symantec" in the finds all virus-related software made by Symantec, including Norton Anti-Virus and Norton Internet Security Suite
• entering "internet security" finds all Internet security-related products on Amazon.co.uk

You can refine your search using a combination of the Keyword, Manufacturer and Platform and boxes.

For example:

• entering "graphics" in the keyword box and "adobe" in the manufacturer box finds all graphics software by Adobe.
• entering "education" in the keyword box, "learning company" in the manufacturer box and selecting "Macintosh" in the platform box finds all Macintosh-compatible educational software by The Learning Company.
