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.
