Hiyas,

I am building a web search program like webferret, currently it searches altavista, excite, google, yahoo, and goeureka, with about 9 other search engines I still need to code into it.

but my problem is with opening the item in the users default browser, I can open it but it opens the page in the browser session they currently have open, I need it to open a new browser session, to open the url in, can anyone help? because the way I am doing it only ever opens a new window when there is no browser currently open.

Also the nine other search engines that it is going to use are: webwombat, thunderstone, webcrawler, hotbot, snap, infoseek, 1blink, directhit, and msn. I've ruled out a few search engines like Lycos (couldn't get it to work properly, plus the search page was too big and was timing out inet control), metacrawler (search page too big in file size), metagopher (just searches other search engines so I would come up with alot more of the same results), and dogpile (just searches otehr search engines as well).

does anyone know of any search engines that I have missed that are anygood? if so can you list the url for them here.

thanx.
