[LM_NET] Yahooligans Alternative

[Laura Brooks <BrooksLa@NORTHVILLE.K12.MI.US>]

Hi,

I, too, have written Yahoo expressing my concerns over their "new and
improved" search engine. Our district, in the meanwhile, has decided to
use www.dibdabdoo.com as an alternative. It is essentially a Spider that
mines (interestingly) the old Yahooligans for web sites, so it is a back
door way of accessing what we used to have. While it's not a perfect
search tool, it's safe, reliable, and current; as a plus for teaching,
it  automatically highlights keywords in the hit list.
