If that's the case then when 30 pupils hand in exactly the same information it won't be hard to spot

Looks very useful, it may even be used insted of a normal google search.
Especially as it cuts out the crappy selling sites etc.

Also, the desktop search is very good so have installed that, also the Gmail notifier now works via port 80 from behind my company firewall.

I've gone all Googly....

At the moment a lot of the info it displays is american but hopefully that will change with time and then it will be a truly useful tool for a lot of students and teachers alike
Have you not got the POP access for google yet Zoom? Is excellent to be able to just fire up outhouse express to get all my mail accounts (apart from Hotmail )

I often found the American stuff more helpful than British/European. The Americans seem to have a better attitude to learning - more open and happy to share materials. They also let students do things that would never be allowed over here, such as installing and configuring Apache.

Oh well - I've sent it to both the students - I'm sure they will let me know how they get on with it!
