WebCompass 2.0 is the ultimate search-engine. But it's not just an engine, you get the whole car with this package. How does it accomplish this? By using over 35 search-engines, including eXcite, Webcrawler, Infoseek, Alti-Vista etc. It combines all of these together and organizes them the way it should be organized. You create a topic, let's say "Printers" Then it asks for some keywords to add to this query. So you add "Laser Canon HP". It searches all the search engines and summarizes the information according to your keywords. It removes all the dead links and pages and rates each page according to relevancy so you're not getting "military laser technology" when you wanted to look for printers.
