How To Search?


Quis? is very easy to use. Just enter the domain name you want to search in the input box, e.g. yahoo.com, press [Enter] or press SEARCH button. Quis? will smartly query many hosts to get the information you want.

Some queries are completed in several seconds, but some take much more than that. It is depend on your internet connection and the responses from remote hosts.

Stop Searching

If for some reasons you want to stop the searching process, press STOP SEARCH button. It will take a while to stop the process though.

Definition Files


Internet is an ever-changing place. Some hosts upgrade their systems, some change their policies, some go out of business, some new players come in. Quis? does not need to upgrade the software to a newer version for each minor transition. It utilizes definition files to keep up with minor transitions of the Internet. Quis? needs to periodically update the definition files.

To update the definition files, from Menu/Settings/Options, click UPDATE button. If you want Quis? to update the files automatically each month, turn on Automatic Monthly Update. The default value for this option is OFF.
