These are the software packages or front ends.  Each of the cited services 
has many different databases available, and without knowing which ones 
you're referring to it would be impossible to make a comparison.  What do 
you use on ProQuest?  ABI Inform?  (and which of the several 
versions)?  NYTimes?  WSJ?  And the same questions for Ebsco, of course.
