Webferret use to the best by far. It useD almost 40 search
engines. Unfortunately, the jerks have destroyed that
program, even the Pro version. It only uses 11 or 12 SE's
now, plus every link it finds that you click on, opens an add
banner page! Not the URL you want to go to that the program
found, but some idiotic oddball URL from an add company. The
whole left side of the page is an add and you cannot get rid
of it for several seconds. I can't believe those people
destroyed such a great product. Doesn't matter if you had
the pro version from years back before they destroyed it
because as soon as you install it and run it, it 'updates'
itself and that removes most of the engines and adds the add
banner pages.
If you use it NOW Chaz, I'd be interested in knowing if they
are still at less than a dozen engines and if you still have
to put up with the screwed up URL's and adds.
I have been forced to use copernic now. I does have TONS
more search engines, but unlike webferret, you can't use all
of them at the same time. It is also VERY painfully s-l-o-w
and even the pro version adds the annoying add banner in the
window. You CAN crack that and get rid of it, but every time
the program updates itself it adds the banner back and you
have to do the registry hack again to eliminate the banner.
The pro version is a trial, but they do have a free version
at their site.

Another excellent search engine to use and download (free
from most
download sites) is WebFerret. I use almost entirely for
everything. It
actually is a separate program (not a plugin or web browser
utility)
allowing for a large number of search engine queries at once,
or user-
selectable. Works with both IE and NS. Search results may
be viewed
within the program or transfered to you favorite web browser
(IE or NS
only).
It can be downloaded from ZDNET.COM, and many others, or
directly from
