Special Search Engine
« on: Friday 14 December 07 17:05 GMT (UK) »
I'm not sure if I should have posted this in the Totally off topic forum or not. 

I find I use Google alot to search for family history or other information.  May I suggest you all try  http://www.lookpink.com/ for your searches?

The search revenue goes to breast cancer research.

Merry Christmas!  Laverdiere

Hi Pels.

Something about a script error on the page, not sure what that means

would you check yours Laverdiere?

This link seems to work but it's through a different url:

I tried lookpink and it didn't work for me either.  I use Internet Explorer web browser but also have a Mozilla web browser--http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/.  The lookpink site works on the Mozilla browser--I'm not sure why?

I tried Barbara's link also--works great and I think the results are from Google? 

Thanks, Barbara!
