A much better search engine is Simpli.com, however its whereabouts are uncertain. It has been purchased by NetZero, and may still be owned by them and available to only users of NetZero. Then another website that I found says that Search123.com bought it from NetZero...
I'm confused.

Anyway, Simpli lets you type in a search word/phrase, and then, if it recognizes the word/phrase (it has a list of ones it knows about), it will allow you to specify what you mean. One commonly used example is "Java". Simpli will recognize the word and ask you if you mean the programming language, the coffee, or the island and then adjust your results accordingly. If anyone can locate Simpli, I'd be glad to use it, as you should be too.

Simply,
