No way to do it with a single search. Peter> So what? So, that means you can't optimize the query to make the search more efficient. Duplicated entries in the partial results get transmitted to the meta-search engine twice. That wastes bandwidth in the first place. And since you need to merge the results together, the duplicates increase the processing time needed. And if you were to eliminate duplicates (which is nice for the end-user), you'll need more processing power. Peter> Using two google searches underneath is mere Peter> implementation! Leave that sort of thing up to the Peter> implementation. Unoptimized, inefficient implementaion. It can be done better, if Google supports full Boolean queries. -- Lee Sau Dan §õ¦u´° ~{@nJX6X~} E-mail: danlee(a)informatik.uni-freiburg.de Home page: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~danlee

Have you still not realized that your descriptions have been confusing? Why not build that GUI to show us what you mean? Didn't you claim it's "trivial" to build such a GUI? -- Lee Sau Dan §õ¦u´° ~{@nJX6X~} E-mail: danlee(a)informatik.uni-freiburg.de Home page: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~danlee

You've distilled the essence of it. Anyone who can't see it is lost and is wasting their time on a linux machine and should get a mac. nb

The above exchange is because *I* didn't read what *he* had written as a spec, not the other way round. > Why not build that GUI to show us what you mean?
