Infoseek morphs into Infoseek express

[Shirl Kennedy]

>From ZDNet:

"On Tuesday, Infoseek will announce a new search tool, dubbed "Infoseek
Express," he said. The tool will offer faster and more comprehensive Web
searches by simultaneously querying other major search engines. As the user
reads the first set of results, the others are downloaded in the background,
Motro said. The "Infoseek Express" site will go live Tuesday at
www.express.infoseek.com..."

>From Infoseek Express:

"Express is different from other search engines because it runs within your
Web browser, searches multiple search engines simultaneously, and provides
an easier to use, faster interface. In addition, Express has an open
architecture that allows for mass distribution, easy updates, and extensive
personal customization...

"Express lets you search Infoseek, Yahoo, Excite, and many other search
engines all at the same time. You don't have repeat the same search on
several sites to find good results.   You can search more than 300 Web sites
and search engines! You can also add your favorite sites for easy reference.

"To use Express, you need:

Windows 95/98 or Windows NT 4.0
Pentium processor or better recommended
32 MB of RAM
10 MB of available hard disk space
At least an 800 × 600 resolution display
An Internet connection with at least a 28.8 modem
One of the following Web browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.x or 4.x
Netscape Navigator 3.x or 4.x
Netscape Communicator 4.x"

I'm in the process of downloading it now.  Has anyone else used it yet?
