Hmmm, sort of...Personally I use Metacrawler: http://www.metacrawler.com/ which seems pretty good...also there are recommended ways of using search engines and (according to a magazine i have lying around here somewhere) most people don't actually use the engines properly to get what they want. (For instance, typing one or two words in as the search query is less likely to get you what you want, whereas four or five words is more likely)... -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
