God knows everything shows on a Google search, right?

And the exquisite organization of links makes it so easy to use!

Try http://www.Vivisimo.com for better search results.

Of course, the irony is that this site does returns exactly what google
does...curious.

Now, had you bothered to try to search, life would have been easier for
everyone. defrag C# works fine(which is one permutation you *should* be
trying).

Not a C# guy. I generally search for things that would be useful to me,
knowing my limitations.

C# is very popular, I just don't like it. Some people like grapefruit. I
don't.

I don't get into religous wars over coding tools or browsers or any such
things. Whichever tools you like and can work with are the best tools for
you.

I have a C# converter that seems to work reasonably well, and I use it for
most of my conversions.

Thanks again for the help.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with Vivisimo.

Just tired of the old one horse Google line.

Google is very fast.....and it brings back a wagon-load of results. But,
searching through those results for relevant articles can be a pain.

I found Vivisimo to be better because of the grouping of the articles that
Google doesn't do.

Wish I did own them. With a little advertising they could give Google a run
for their money in article searches.

One place Google outshines Vivisimo is in image searches.Vivisimo doesn't
even have an image search as such.

Just pointing out something I found to be useful.

Of course, you could Google Jim Hubbard and Vivisimo to be sure. And, if
you don't like looking through the tons of results returned, you could flip
over to Vivisimo and try it there.

:) Thanks again for the help.

Your questions about my Vivisimo intentions got me to look a bit harder at
Vivisimo, and I found that I am now wrong about the image search.

It seems that Vivisimo now does image, news and web searches through their
Clusty interface at http://clusty.com/ .

Have you checked out Vivisimo yet? I'd be interested in your opinion of the
site.

Language doesn't matter(and obviously didn't to you, you posted in the
general group without including a prefered language). You can easily compile
the wrapper into a dll and use it from VB.NET or whatever language you like.

The point is that when you are searching for samples, you should generally
search for:
<what your looking for> .NET
<what your looking for> C#
<what your looking for> VB.NET
<what your looking for> VB
<what your looking for> dotnet

In whatever order you like. Chances are good you'll find what your looking
for. C# seems to be the easiest, since the name hasn't grown to to many
different thinks yet.

Sorry about that, it just seemed like a sudden advertisement.

[quoted text, click to view]

I looked at it. Too slow, IMHO, and I don't particularly care for the UI.

The other problem is typing and remembering "google" is *far* easier than
"vivisimo". They need a shorter, easier to recall on the fly name. Vivisimo
sounds like an ideal name to forget a vi or the si in.

As a side note.

VB [6.0] is a killer to search for (cos of all the .NET stuff now).

I usually end up doing:

<searchterm> +vb -.net

Chris,

Just a note for you to be careful with AVG. Although they passed the latest
independent testing on VirusBulletin with 100% accuracy, their track record
is pretty poor.

See http://www.virusbulletin.com/vb100_award/archives/products.xml?avg.xml

LOL, I imagine so.
Thats also part of what makes C# so easy to search for.

Aside: if you hadn't top-posted, I wouldn't have spent a whole minute
trying to work out what part of Chris's message you were referencing. :-(

I can't see it being very useful when sent along with a text-only message.

Is this simply an advertisement for AVG?

Note that the signature delimiter is non-standard, meaning newsreaders with
the ability to automatically remove /standard/ signatures from the quoted
text in a follow-up won't touch this "signature" by default; thus it has an
