Rose~ Thanks for the list. I didn't notice two other searches I routinely employ: (1) Webferret -- download at http://www.instalservis.cz/Download/WebFerret/webferret.html and the other is (2) Copernic 2000 -- download at: http://www.copernic.com/ Both of these search multiple engines simultaneously.
