CyberSearch 2.0: Bing Support, Search Details, and More
I've been working on a new version of CyberSearch for a little while now, and I've been trying to come up with ways to add all of the most requested features.

In 2008, Google said there's no such thing as complete privacy. You're being tracked all over the web by their AdSense ads, by sites that use Google Analytics and - probably the most important - their search engine. But Google Search isn't the only search engine that tracks your behavior.
SiteAdvisor started out as a really good idea. Whenever you went to a site, the SiteAdvisor label would turn green (safe), yellow (shady) or red (dangerous) to indicate the safety of that site.
Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories, downloads, and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about.

I've been playing with Microsoft's Bing search engine over the last day to see how it stacks up to the others. The thing I always find when trying out a new search engine is that it's so hard to find what I'm looking for because I've grown accustomed to formulating Google queries just right.
Last year we ran through a couple performance-friendly desktop search applications for those of you that don't want a program constantly indexing your machine, and today we have another nice alternative. It's a free Windows app called Everything that, unlike the others mentioned in the article I referenced, index your drive automatically over time.
I'm always on the lookout for a good Firefox extension, and I got an email the other day about one I've really fallen in love with. It's called KwiClick, and it does exactly what I look for in an extension... it stays out of my way until I need it, and when I do use it I get the results I want.
Last week Wolfram Alpha launched, and I immediately started playing around with it. Like every other search engine Wolfram focuses on being able to take your input and try to return the data you're looking for, but don't expect it to grab results like those you find at Google.
Every now and again I use StumbleUpon to see what kind of unique sites I can find, and last week I found a rather nifty one called Keyboardr. It's a search engine that distinguishes itself by not actually having (or needing) a search button. Results are show to you in real-time as you type.
Google is experimenting with yet another new search feature called Google Preferred Sites. If you're one of the lucky few to have this option show up in your search preferences you can start taking advantage of this feature right now, but most of you will probably have to wait for Google to roll it out.
