Frosty:

Don't think its just you when it comes to having problems with searches. The
engine (or engines) you use makes a big difference. I recently installed
software to go with my new DSL service and was really upset over the way my
system was "customized" without my permission. When I used the new default
search engine, however, I got over it. I got a lot better at searching
without doing a thing differently. Try playing with the search options. What
the heck, check the box for every available search engine.
