Hello everyone,
I fully understand that there are loads of search engines out there in
the ether ...
I also fully understand that many of us become experts with our own
favorites ...
I can appreciate the fact that many of us can locate the most obscure
details at a moment's notice ...

For the rest of us, I would like to recommend copernic as a starter all
in one package...
It is a multi-engine search engine with a few added values ...

1 - the search results are downloaded to your own computer - to be
deleted when your use for it is over - and NOT before;
2 - the results are viewed in a web page format and links are all active
when selected (clicked on);
3 - the links are verified as active BEFORE they are displayed (dead
links are a thing of the past);
4 - (my favorite reason) duplicate sites that are located by the 12
engines it uses are eliminated from the list;
5 - the engines it uses includes alta vista, webcrawler, lycos, infoseek
and a handful of the other major engines;
6 - it automatically handles the Boolean search syntax of each engine it
uses;
7 - it is FREE... (another favorite reason);
8 - there is a purchased version (not free) which ups the ante to about
125 engines and databases for each search (if the original 12 isn't
enough of a search);
9 - the results are displayed in relevancy sequence (highest at the
top - all engines on one list and not grouped by search engine).

So, although I would be the last to indicate or advocate that one search
engine would please all of us or fit all our needs, I do think that the
influx of the new librarians who come requesting assistance for
locations of web sites, subject matter, and general knowledge solutions
would benefit from a multi-purpose engine such as copernic...

And like Mikey's siblings have been heard to mutter on one occasion,
"Hey, he LIKES it!"

Aloha y'all - - - Earl J.
