Overview
The program is powered by the most recent
version of Moby Thesaurus (compiled by Grady Ward), which is the large and most
comprehensive English thesaurus data source available to date in the public
domain. Having over 30,000 headwords (main entries),
2,500,000 synonyms and advanced search functions at your call,

It runs locally. Theres no
need to connect to the Internet, open up your browser, type in URLs, wait for
pages to load, click on/view advertisements, and sometimes expose your system to
spyware/adware threats.
