Jim, the relevance feature is only applicable to the local disk from what I can tell after you index your hard drive which can take an hour or so. Win95 doesn't have this feature but there are utilities you can buy that do the same thing. It does appear that the internet search feature is improved over MS Win95/98 version. It took me about 80 seconds to do a similar search while Reality reported 27 seconds. My search results appears in a normal search engine window in a browser window that automatically opens when I search. Sherlock appears to grab the result and present it in a dialog box. "While normally you must launch your favorite browser, wait for it to load, choose a search engine, search for the information you hope to find, look at the results, and possibly repeat this process for several search engines, Sherlock accomplishes the same thing in one click" - This quote from Reality is not true of Win 95/98 which also allows you to commence a search with one click although when the search page shows you've got to put your search target into the box and click again. This appears to be the speed savings. We still don't know if Sherlock refines the search engine results or if you still get too many pages. There doesn't appear to be any info that would indicate that it does. Bottom line an improvement over existing technology but nothing particularly new. Rich
