A search engine is what makes the difference between a true net browser 
and a net router. I do other things than Linux; therefore, I need 
information that may not be in http format such as the Hykosis Kings who 
ruled Egypt at the time of the Exodus. Typing in Hykosis Kings into user 
search or even Exodus yields can't find server if using mozilla default 
page or if using netscape for home page it will default to Ask Jeeves 
search engine under netscape. But, then it's a matter of what you use 
your computer for. If you use the net to search a wide based information 
group you need a search engine. If you only have one topic you'll ever 
research you can always rely on www.linuxwhatever.com. Course you could 
  use Lynx and cut out all the bloat of mozilla. Then one man's bloat is 
another's needful feature.
