But, so often we forget becasue we are concentrating on what we are going to say. I took a gander and didn't find it objectionable, just "different", and I'm sure with a little usage I could be more accustomed to its format. I found it a little slow re. Google, but that could be TOD or phase of moon. I guess I like Google Advanced because I don't have to think about the boolean aspects of the search string. In the, "For what it's worth department": I did my typical genealogy research trick and entered "Nickell" in the search field, Google comes up with 52,300 to 183 for Vivsimo; "Nickell genealogy" yields 94 to Vivisimo's 117. Guess I wouldn't be surprised if Google search became another $subscriber$ utility before too long. [Ancestry may then buy them out. ;-) ]
