If you use an Apple Macintosh computer with OS 8.5 or higher, you can search the internet directly using the Sherlock aplication. This application usually resides in the Apple Menu Items folder. Sherlock searches the internet using a collection of existing internet search engines, such as Yahoo, Excite and the like. Now you can add the VisionScience search engine to this collection.
Currently, the VisionScience search engine searches all the contents of the VisionScience site, including mailing list archives, but but does not venture outside the site. We are investigating the possibility of also searching one or two clicks away from the site. If this would be useful to you, drop us a line.
Sherlock automatically checks for updates to resident search engine files (.src files), so if you may see an occasional message asking whether you want to update.
Please report any problems or suggestions to sherlock@visionscience.com.
