Tell Me About...

If you like keeping yourself updated or just enjoy assimilating information about various topics, you probably understand how powerful the Internet can be in this situation.

However, if you do not have a reliable search engine, you might consider using third-party applications, such as Tell Me About..., which can provide you with better results.

This program is available as a Windows Store application, therefore installing it on your computer can be accomplished with minimum difficulty, since no additional configuration is required.

The only necessary steps are accessing its product page on the Store utility and hit the Install button, as the rest of the process is performed automatically.

Making use of this program's capabilities can be done in an effortless manner, since it comes with a simple, user-friendly interface that encompasses a handful of intuitive functions.

Tell Me About... features a rudimentary configuration pane that enables you to customize a couple of parameters: the default results language and the number of items fetched with data providers.

This program lets you perform searches using various providers, including Wikipedia, YouTube, Reddit, Twitter or DuckDuckGo. In order to perform a search, you just need to click the Start Searching button and type the desired subject in the corresponding field. The results are displayed directly on the main window.

Selecting an item displays a preview lets you open the entire article in your browser by clicking the gear-shaped button and choosing the corresponding option from the list. On the downside, during our testing, we could not receive any results from YouTube, SlideShare or twitter. The application displayed either a “Provider error” or a “No result found” message instead of the expected results.

To wrap it up, Tell Me About... is a lightweight application that lets you search for information about your favorite subjects using multiple providers. It can be easily installed on your computer, comes with a user-friendly interface, but, unfortunately, some of the providers do not provide you with the expected feedback.
