Has anyone tried First Stop Web Search, a WU Gold Award Winner in Issue 61 available here? It really is as good as it says on the jar!

I dont really like using search engines you have to download, I prefer to use online search engines. Its just as quick to use the Google toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com). Its really useful with its pop-up blocker and all!

The advantage of this tool is that it searches all (or most) of the best search engines and comes up with the results of the best sites most appropriate to what you are looking for. Like you I use the Google Toolbar in my browser for my searches but having installed First Stop Web Search and used it to find something I had previously used Google for, it came up with other more useful results which Google hadn't. I wouldn't suggest replacing Google. Just consider it as an additional powerful tool. If you haven't read article in Web User 61 and you have access to it, that will explain better than me.
