Super-search site

Refdesk is an umbrella search site encorporating all the usual search engines, such as google and yahoo, lesser known search engines, and a host of tools that are great for editors. Links to dictionaries -- technical, medical, legal, and regular -- include the option of downloading software such that one need only highlight a dubious word in a piece of script to connect directly to its dictionary definition www.thefreedictionary.com/add2ie.htm.
There are also language translation apps., currency converters, quotation resources and a wealth of news feeds. Again, users can subscribe to free software that dynamically supplies a preferred type of quotation, specific currency conversion, or news item type, e.g. what happened on 'this' day 20 years ago.
Community users can bookmark refdesk and other favourites on del.icio.us.com. They are also invited give back to the free, educational resource -- the PBS of cyberspace -- by making an online donation to the site.
