Re: UKNM: research for a feature... :)

I'm afraid that because of it's database (that covers every search engine on

your list and then some) and its ease of use, Google has them all beat.


It has an uncanny ability to put the most relevant result (not the most

popular) right at the top, too.


BTW - I did a search for 'world domination' in Google yesterday. The top

result? Microsoft!
