  Might Need Selection

  by: 1consultant1 on 29-Jul-2007 10:15:10 AM

  Pros: Close all running programs, install WebFerret, and restart. Open IE. If the "WebFerret" search bar isn't showing in the IE upper bar, RIGHT-click on an UNused portion of that IE bar, and select "WebFerret."

  Very poor search results, mostly ads for click thru

  by: SoftwareTestPilot on 18-Jun-2008 08:04:17 PM

  Pros: Nothing. Read below...

  Cons: I only use the Quick Search external program. I searched for specific part numbers to products. 45% of the results are spam websites from MIVA and GOOGLE ADS. WTF??? Tons of "free gift cards" and "free ipods" results for something not even close to my search. NO WAY TO REMOVE INDIVIDUAL SEARCH ENGINES LIKE MIVA AND GOOGLE ADS LISTINGS!!! Worthless program. It opens up pages in my AOL software browser, which I never use and hate. The search program has NO options at all. You get what you get.

  Very good, easy to use.

  by: richcampos on 07-Aug-2007 05:00:31 PM

  Pros: Gives complete line summary of subject, ie, topic, source, url, engine.

  Cons: Not bad at all, but when I do "Exact Phrase" search, I get back other detail which may be close or not at all.
