And if you don't like the results from one, just click the "Next" button to send the search to the next engine. You can also quickly find new sites that are related to the one you're viewing.

You can now search your History file for recently visited pages or browse the list, sorted by date, name, or number of times visited.

Outlook Express has been enhanced. It now offers designer stationery and it integrates with the HotMail Web-based e-mail service.

Other features include: a print preview command, a customizable toolbar, support for multiple users, an enhanced "Favorites" bar, an improved Content Advisor. You can also select a default e-mail client, HTML editor, calendar program, and newsgroup reader.
