Millions of Internet users perform lots of searches on the web using different Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc daily. Google is top search engine and most of the time we use Google. But it is not enough sometimes. So we try other search engines like Yahoo or Bing. It takes time to opening a new tab and loading sites.

Sbot support multiple Search Engines (Google, Yahoo!, Bing) and Twitter search right now. To using Sbot you need to add Sbot as your friend on Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger or Live Messenger and start searching.

To perform Google search send – g search keyword

To perform Yahoo search send – y search keyword

To perform Twitter search send – t search keyword

You can send “help” to bot for usage instructions. If you are working and need to read your reply on twitter you does not need to open Twitter you can check your replies by just sending message “t @YogeshGautam“.

Note: It will display first 4 results for Google because of the API limitations.
