The Best Programmable Logic
Related Searching Anywhere! 

From the Xilinx.com, you can search and monitor the Web like never before. Xilinx's SmartSearch is the most effective search engine on the Web for finding Programmable Logic Industry related information. And PLD WebWatcher Agents will proactively inform you when new Web information becomes available that meets your specific interests. 

Why is Xilinx SmartSearch the best way of finding what the Programmable Logic community wants?

  • Selective Multi-site Indexing


    • Xilinx Industry-wide SmartSearch spans multiple sites, not just Xilinx. You get one-stop searching of Industry magazines, EDA companies, organizations, universities, and distributors. But unlike generic search engines, Xilinx SmartSearch yields better search results by only searching known content rich sites.

    For example, if you search for PCI in Lycos, you get pages on Berkeley UNIX pci structs and the PCI Home Page for geographic management software. With Xilinx SmartSearch, you'll get high quality results like Synopsys' PCI Design Kit, NuHorizons' Technical Forum, the PCI SIG Group, and more.

  • User selectable Search Domain


    • Xilinx SmartSearch allows greater searching control by letting users search by specific site location like Xilinx or Cadence. You can search for "Power Dissipation" at only the EDN and Cadence web sites by entering the keywords and selecting EDN and Cadence check boxes.

  • Intra-site Searching


    • You can even search by specific source within a site. You can search for "counters" and "XC3000A" within just Xilinx' Application Notes. Simply type in counters, XC3000A and select the Application Notes check box.

  • SmartSearch Topics


    • When you select concept topics like CPLD by selecting the listed check boxes, Xilinx SmartSearch can automatically search for all related keywords and phrases like "Programmable Logic Device" and "CPLD" so that you don't miss results you might want. You can also specify literal keywords and phrases that must match precisely to make the results list by typing them in yourself.

  • SmartSearch Agents


    • Suppose you are interested in DSP, or any topic of your choosing. PLD WebWatcher Agents will watch the Web for you and inform you by e-mail of new material as it appears! You can train agents to watch for specific information at specific sites or all of them!  Creating agents is even easier using Popular PLD WebWatcher agents.  These predefined by Xilinx staff to keep you informed with the most popular information available on our sites.
