I've had experience with this plugin for over a year now on one of my sites. At first look it's okay, but this plugin is very picky on how the HTML is constructed. Since support on the Joomlaworks forums is non-existent, it's hard to find a solution for any problem you encounter. Some problems I encountered:
- Proper display of tabs and slides differs between browsers and browser versions.
- And depends also on the particular template you're using.
- Some of the slides open only half way for some users: I'm not sure why.
- I still haven't found the right way to make all tabs the same 100% width.
Basically my advice would be: try it, it's free! Make sure you test it in all different browsers. Don't hope for any support if you want to customize.

What it does: the component enhances the standard search with checkboxes, indicating which mambots you want to use per search. E.g. if you have search mambots for your forum, your content and your news items, you can pick which one you want to search each time. By default, Joomla searches all published mambots and combines the results. With Advanced Search, you can choose.
Using their module you can display a search box to search a particular part of your site (providing you have a search mambot for that).
Currently, this is all the component does. Some more features are in the pipe line. E.g. include or exclude particular sections or categories. A personal favorite for me would be an extra sorting option, allowing it to sort by keyword density.
If you need it, shell out the 10 bucks to download it. Don't expect too much, but the basic functionality is solid.

Getting Joomla search to behave as you need to: I've always found it somewhat bothersome. This is a very nice search mambot, great addendum to the options available.
I've used it in combination with the Advanced Search component. That way, density search becomes optional and I can still choose the default ways of searching.

Looks very promising, install & configuration is easy and looks like just what you need. But for me it created incomplete, corrupted ZIP files. And the dutch translation is missing text (e.g. no label on button to export database).

Try the version just released (1.1.1b2), it should have fixed this issue.

The idea is very good: to have your content links displayed in separate module. For a site that's very static in nature, Context Links would probably work well.
Right now it's very hard to administer. You have to do a lot of manual copy & pasting, finding out ID-numbers you want to link, and finding out the URL's. Very hard to keep track of when you need to change something.
Suggestion: it would be great if I could create a link right next to the content item in the backend. Perhaps in an extra tab. And it would be even nicer if I could select the content item from a filtering list (first select section, then category, then content item).
Great idea, just needs some working on.
