To all,
One of the most useful programs on the net that I have found for
searching the web, and subparts of it, is Sherlock. However, it is only
on the Mac as an integral part of the MacOS. The next best thing is
Copernic, found at
http://www.copernic.com/
However, Copernic is not available for Linux users, and by golly, it
ought to be! The have a special add-on for searching programming
specific sites and topics, which ought to especially appealing to Linux
users.
If you have used Copernic, available for the Macintosh and all flavors
of windoze (basic program is free, all add-ons cost about $30 total) you
know what I am talking about. The next best web based alternative is
http://www.metacrawler.com/index.html
If you want to see a linux port, surf to
http://www.copernic.com/support/suggestion.html
and offer your suggestion to port a linux client. As newbies, we need
access to information, and during those long dark hours between posting
a question and getting a response can seem like an eternity. I have
found this to be a great tool and highly recommend it. I am in no way
affiliated with Copernic or its associated companies (if there are any)
in any sense but represent my opninion only as a very satisfied user.
