Hi,
there is another nice (and small !) freeware search tool :Solway�s search
Solway's Shareware Page (URL: http://www.ozemail.com.au/~kevsol/sware.html)
SOLWAY'S INTERNET SEARCH V1.7
Search up to four search engines at once
A small and fast FREEWARE program enabling you to search up to FOUR
search engines simultaneously and display the results on one screen
(provided that your web browser can handle frames), or up to ELEVEN s
earch engines in multiple full-screen windows. Windows 3.1 or Windows
95.

DOWNLOAD Internet Search (71kb .ZIP, for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95
)[16]
- Freeware -
you can search 4 to 11 mayor engines, but it does not ...how to say...clean
repeated searches and it is not customizable (I would like to include
google and savvysearch). Anyway these tools are for the very limited times
I am online, most searches I do by email.
I agree with Alan that the best is to master one or two the www search
engines you will find anywhere ,and not to depend on a soft installed in
your PC (this I add).
I have installed Webferret and Copernic freeware (from a CD) to see how
they were: I think Copernic is best, or more complete.
