Here's a neat searching site I just found....

There are lots of search engines, so how do you choose? Maybe, you don't have to. Maybe, there's one that combines a lot of the others and gives you their best answers....
Maybe, it's called "Info.com"....
Curious? Have a look at this.
Neat, huh?
Short 'PS' - Yesterday, when I wrote this originally, I was having trouble connecting with the various live-links displayed in Info.com's results page. The problem wasn't what I thought. It was with the security settings in my browser. I have those purposely set quite high, and that prevents a lot of cookies from automatically being activated. I must confess I wasn't paying attention to the little warning bar at the top of the page which asks about pop-ups & cookies. My mistake. That's important, because unlike a lot of other search engines, which have their own security policies in place, and one size of those fits all, Info.com aggregates results from many diverse sources with a mix of individual security settings - so your first line of defense comes back to your own browser - and if you're like me, and the settings are quite high, then you will need to individually enable the setting of a temporary cookie for each new search result site you wish to connect to. It's a bit less convenient, perhaps, but the multiple sources on one site makes it worth it, I think. And I'm sorry if I got you all confused yesterday about this. The good news is, Old Ray is still making mistakes, and still learning things from them. :)
If you've been wondering how to see what's on your Clipboard, or you can't figure out how to get that to co-operate, then here's the scoop on that one....
Go into 'My Computer' -> 'C' Drive -> Windows -> System32 Folder. Scroll down past the other folders in it, to the alphabetical listings of icons. Look for one called 'Clipbrd' or 'Clipbrd.exe'. Right-click it, and select 'Create Shortcut'. Drag that shortcut onto your Desktop, rename it 'Clipboard Viewer', and to get its icon showing, right-click it again, and select 'Change Icon'. Pick one from the several it will show you, and click 'Apply'. You may have to do this twice, before the icon actually changes, but it will change into the new one.
Now, when you click on that icon on your Desktop, you will see a window for the contents, if any, in your Clipboard folder. This is something else I love about Windows - they've got lots of goodies built into it, but they don't tell you how to find them! You have to hunt through the technical blab on their knowledge base at Microsoft. Sometimes, it's even worth it....
And if the above wasn't too clear, have a look at this which may help. And in that screenshot, if you look at my icons on the left side, the second one from the bottom in the right column is the icon you will get.
