I hope you have better luck than I have had in f inding a really good
search engine. In 1996, Lycos and others were giving really rich
returns. In the late 90s, google appeared, and it seemed really good
too. Then google went south quickly, seemingly grading returns on
the basis of sponsored results. I am in the process of updating this
page, and the order you see today may not reflect what it will be
soon. I have been using these engines with a single search criterion
in order to grade their utility. rsc

This engine is also better than google, notifies user of sponsored
versus non-sponsored returns.

Tom is a Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) survivor. After major surgery,

He reports as of now complete remission. He is objective in his interpretation
of this. His pages cover both standard and alternative programs.
