From CNET Networks:

WebFerret provides a handy and efficient way to find information on the Web. It's fast, easy to use, and free. Enter your search words and choose from four options: all keywords, any keyword, exact phrase, or Boolean expression. WebFerret will use your Internet connection to query popular search engines and will return an unlimited number of hits. You can validate selected results, save your search history, and filter out pornography and foul language. Advanced features let you set the closeness of the match, and remove duplicates. The results are returned as a sortable list. Just double-click on a link to bring up your browser and launch the page. WebFerret is powered by Search.com.

Version 6 is fully compatible with all versions of Windows Vista and features a new, modern look; now searching more search engines for better, more comprehensive results.

"Might Need Selection"

by 1consultant1 on July 29, 2007

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 June 18, 2008

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 August 7, 2007

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.
