Hi All,
I know I'll probably get lots of answers for this one.
Is there a good search engine that works well
with lynx and speakup?
I used to use 37.com, but they've reddesigned their sight
since, so that I can't use lynx with
it anymore.
Thanks in advance.
Greg

I use webferret. What it does is to query a large set of search engines simultaneously (about 30 or so), and displays the results in a listbox. Its similar to an windows explorer window, letting you view details or list or icons, etc. Its small, about 800k and you can get it from zdnet. It really does work well! rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@afb.net> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: 01 August, 2001 4:47 PM Subject: Re: searching with lynx and speakup Greg: I usually use Yahoo, and/or Google, and sometimes Infoseek, in that order of preference.
