I think it was me that mentioned it and you seem to have been given the URL. Usual rule - if in doubt, stick '.com' on the end of the name and see if that is recognised! You can't limit the search to the UK as with GOOGLE but the Cluster system is good for selecting a particular group of matches. I get annoyed with GOOGLE because often I will be trying to find a company on the WWW so put in the name of the company and product e.g. 'BLOGGS FLOGGLE TOGGLE'. GOOGLE will give me pages of matches of companies wanting to see me Bloggs' Floggle Toggles, companies wanting to lend me money to buy a Floggle Toggle but no sign of Bloggs PLC. I put the same into VIVISIMO (and some often search engines) and the first match will be the Bloggs PLC website. MB

Hi all, I got this tip from an earlier thread, to use the 'vivisimo' search engine. Does anyone know the website address? I found vivisimo.com but returns all seemed to be US related. Thanks Kx
