Excellent, finds results the leading search engines don't find such as Google and Yahoo., will open with Firefox if set as default browser, not sure if it will work with other default browsers, i've been using it with Firefox.
Cons
Crashes every now and then, but when you restart it it's fine, none of my other search engines do this, will continue to use because i try out a-lot of different software and i very much like the results, and i do extensive research to find the best software possible, can live with the every now and then crashes, maybe in the future they will have a new version that doesn't do this.
Summary
Excellent when looking for extensive information and software for your computer.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Feb 22, 2013<p/>I just found out this software is for 32 bit computers, i've been using it on a 64 bit computer, that could be why it crashes every now and then, Cnet did not specify it is for 32 bit computers, but that's ok, i very much like this software and do run other software for 32 bit computers with no problems as i have learned it is ok to do so.
Best I have found

Pros
I have used one form or another for many years, & found it very usefull. It can be customized to your needs. It's fast. It's fairly easy to use. You pick the search engines it uses. Tghe free mode is far better than I expected. It really is a good product.
Cons
I only use it for searches where I need informmative, & extensive results. I don't use it to find the local pizza parlor, as it takes more to use than BING in my toolbar. It takes a little to set up, but once done it's fine.
Summary
When I'm doing research, or for work, when I need informative, & extensive results I find it invaluble. It saves searches, & has many features in the free mode. It's great. I've used it for years with no problems.
