David,
I just find the ability to delete useless hits and to be able to save
my search exactly where I got to in my manipulation of the list
absolutely irresistible. It does not search Google but I find I get
the same hits when I tried it against Copernic. The real exciting
hits I got with both were in Australia - one supplier called "Purple
Pig" believe it or not, who still makes SilentBloc bushings used on
my 1955 Aston. So I am very happy with Copernic's search capability.
