For the benefit of those of us whose mail software automatically senses
hyperlinks (Outlook 97 in my case), may I suggest that we adopt the
practice of including the internet protocol (i.e., http://, ftp://,
telnet://, etc.) in front of our wwws. It makes for efficient surfing; I
often like to click to the sites that TechNetters recommend but I usually
have to manually type in http:// to activate the hyperlink (as I did to
SG's 4 sites below...). I looked but could not find a setting that would
automatically sense and convert www to hyperlinks; does anyone know how to
do this? If so, please advise and pardon my whining.

<< Hi everyone,
I had an Idea that could be useful to everyone...
If each person would e-mail me (or Technet) with their favorite search
engine(s) in order of best first, I'd be glad to compile it into a useable
list in order of user preference and send it back to Technet for all to
use.
(Maybe I'm trying to make up for slamming Steve with the calculator?)

Hey there Ed!
No need to "make-up" for that math deal...heck, after that happened I
got
a holiday named after me...who woulda' thunk that? (GRIN)
Anyways, I use something called WebFerret mostly, it's pretty good you
download it and install it on your own 'pooter and it uses eight other
engines
at the same time to search (Lycos, AltaVista, Excite, Snap, etc.). It can
be
downloaded at http://www.WebFerret.com.
'Nuther good one is Mamma (The mother of all search engines, they
say..)
it can be had at (where else?) http://www.Mamma.com
Don't be put off this ones name, but another good one is DogPile at
(you
guessed it...) http://www.DogPile.com. I like the button they have next to
the
keyword box that you type in what you're looking for, instead of "Search",
it
has "Fetch"...DogPile? Fetch? Get it? (I knew you would...GRIN)
And last but not least, a search engine that comes from the British
blokes called GOD...(WOW! I didn't know HE lived in the UK!)
It's not really THE God...just joshin'. But what's unique about this
engine is that you can specify by country what you're trying to find. It
can
be found at http://www.GOD.Co.UK
