News Pursuit is like having your own personal reporter working 24/7 for you, it queries and monitors Yahoo’s, Google's and MSN's RSS news search engines at a selected interval, based on keywords you select.. When a news event is found based on your keywords, it compares the news headlines with what is in its archives.. if it is not in the news archives it will alert you based on your choices for that keyword via a popup desktop alert in a selected color and duration, play a selected sound file and email you a summary of the news articles it has found with links to the full article. News Pursuit also has a manual on demand search option that allows you to specify the date range you are interested in. You can also sort the news by title, description, date, URL and time. You may never use a search engine again or waste time going to different websites for news, as News Pursuit serves your news to you on a silver platter.
