Hi,
Gimpsy always claimed to have some outstanding Natural Language search capability. We decided to put it to the test - and designed a competition. 
To enter, you must be registered (how else we will know that it is YOU?) and then just enter any 'Gimpsy style' search phrase.
The search phrase, together with the prefix phrase 'I want to' should form a normal, standard, grammatically correct English sentence. Thus, 'buy books' will qualify, since the sentence
I want to buy books
is perfect ... It is ALSO perfect in that it is 'understood' by Gimpsy and you get to see a LIST of SITES where you can do just that (i.e. - buy books). See the full explanation, examples and rules here : http://www.gimpsy.com/gimpsy/doc/faq/competition.php
First prize for the first competition is $25 - awarded to the LONGEST eligible sentence. Consolation prize of $10 will be randomally given to another entry in the 20 top table.
Hope you take part and enjoy it
The Gimpsy Team
