Thank you for telling me about http://www.vivisimo.com/ I found 79 hits for my surname KOZIUK. Of course a lot of them were in Polish and I wish that my grandparents had taught us kids to speak/read Polish.

I used it for some time yesterday and found a dozen things for my main line that I'd never seen before. One thing I like about Vivisimo is the category "tree", it's almost a filter for the user to select things he knows aren't of interest to him; something other search engines don't do. For instance in my NICKELL line there is Joe Nickell the Paranormal Investigator for the Skeptical Inquirer magazine (debunked the Shroud of Tourin, etc.). He had a category all his own with many hits that I could ignore. One "newspaper (article)" opened up a whole new slant on the Bruce NICKELL murder by his wife, commonly called the "Tylenoyl Posoning Case of Seattle (1986)" And the authors seem to be thinking, almost every hit can be opened with a New Browser, akin to <A HREF .... TARGET="_BLANK">, that spawns a new browser screen. I wish more Web Page programmers would use that technique so you don't have to reload the previous page for quick looks at "page 2". I Vivisimo well enough I've modified my Netscape Search button to open Vivisimo rather than Google Advanced. As I noted earlier, it will take a little getting used to because it is a little different in format.
