Overall, Copernic 2000 is an indispensable utility for finding items on the Internet. If your searches are largely limited to search engines, e-mail directories, Usenet news sites, and basic online shopping, the free edition makes for a must-have download. If you often find yourself consulting more specialized directories, the Plus edition (or perhaps even the Pro release) is the way to go. $39.95 is a small price to pay for advanced search capabilities that are unavailable anywhere else on the 'net.
Pros: Indispensable, inexpensive, and ingenious; the best multi-site search tool available
Cons: Easier in many cases to use web browser / browser search toolbars for web searches
