Actually, that's useful in a couple ways. Not only is it easy to do, but I'd guess there's a fair chance Google could be talked into some sort of sponsorship, in exchange for a 'Search by Google", which at the same time will serve as the disclosure of who it's piped thru. As someone (you?) mentioned earlier, letting Google do all the hard work means it's both easy implementation, and easy on our hardware since it's just passing thru to Google. If we can finagle a box or two (or mirroring, hardware and bandwidth and benefitting from their connectivity!, directly located at two or more Google locations worldwide) out of the deal as well, that's even better! -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
