Tehnologyguy - Can you help me out a little. What is the difference between metacrawler and hotbot as a search engine? Is one more suited for certain types of searches? There are a lot of search engines and I don't do much searching - however I do feel the site registration and categorization process for some of these portals is labor intensive - so as time passes only the big guys like yahoo are going to be able to successfully organize information from the net. Yahoo has a deal with inktomi currently. Its nice to hear some think highly of metacrawler. The hypermart doesn't do much for me, fwiw. Michelle
