Well guys just thought I would share a cool tip. I use google all the time and find it pretty damn good, even when I type in a whole sentance to describe my search.
Like I just typed in this, EXACTLY like this. No quotes or nothing:
log home building message board
And on the first hit there was a message board about building homes with logs.
I find alot of engines just can't do that without spitting out all kinds of crap.
Heck half of them would have seen logs and sent me to some nasty porn sites.
But google isn't a great search engine.
Theres a bonus, You can intergrate it with your browser.
You install a small app, and it adds a google search bar in your browser, at the top just like a URL line, and you can resize it or hide it or what ever.
BUT, it gets better, after thats intalled, if you see something on a web page you want to search for.
Lets say, "P51b photos". Just highlight it, right click and theres now a google search option in that menu along with the normal cut. copy and such.
GOTO, www.google.com
Then
All about google.
Other ways to google.
Browser buttons.
Plus theres all kinds of neat stuff.
I'm using IE 5 that comes stock with Win98SE and haven't seen any drawbacks yet.
