I just type the terms into my home page addy bar (which is "USE BLANK") and get what I need. It's the fastest method I know. But Google isn't what it once was...now it is the biggest money makers on top of all searches instead of what is most relevant. Edited by Trotsky, May 30 2012, 11:54 PM.

I'm not sure but I think you can pay google ? Of course, when I got my new computer Microsoft was "kind" enough to default to BING. It took me several hours to unscrew it and restore GOOGLE to the address bar search. I would try BING to feel it out except for the fact it will try to take over my computer again.

Well for goodness sakes NEVER go to BABYLON! I needed to check some of my translations to a friend I have in Quebec and I must have inadvertently missed some instruction somewhere because I got toolbars and search engines for Africa and they were very persistent in hanging around!
