E-mail exchange announcing — all4one.searchallinone.com

One day, I received some e-mail announcing a new search engine, "http://all4one.searchallinone.com/." Since the e-mail was directed to me, and was considerate enough to obey my rules regarding e-mail, I decided to include it in my list.

Since my pages can now be found by Google and other search engines, I feel I need to post this note about how this came to be here. I'm afraid I know nothing more about this site than they were able to convince me to add them to my list.

Note: The headers for this e-mail have been redacted to (somewhat) protect the internals of the organization I work for. This is somewhat akin to closing the shades on a window. It does not insure privacy or protection, but is a clear request to respect that privacy.

BTW: One small correction: My US-Mail address is no longer on Plymouth Road. It is now:

I must say that "http://www.merit.edu/~rsc/Resources/" is just a
personal, although not quite private, list of bookmarks and the like,
organized somewhat like my garage.  Moreover, the purpose is also
rather similar, and I'm not seeking a wider audience for it.  I suppose
I should post clearer disclaimers on my pages (see 
http://www.merit.edu/~rsc/disclaimer.html for what I have already.)

Since I use multiple computers, browsers, operating systems, and
filesystems, I find keeping bookmarks like this more effective.
(Besides, I've had browser failures and upgrades loose all my bookmarks,
so I've become extremely conservative about that sort of thing.)

I did try "http://all4one.searchallinone.com".  I like the "grouping"
feature, although some noise around the keywords seemed to confuse it.
(Try a search for "michigan terminal system", and you'll see in the list
of groups one for "michigan terminal system" and another for
"michigan terminal system]".  The "]" is clearly noise.)

However, before that, inspired by "http://watleyreview.com/2005/042605-4.html",
I tried "cheese computers" and got a server error.  

I would appreciate knowing who I am communicating with.  James at SearchAllInOne
is rather skimpy, and "webmaster@searchallinone.com" is anonymous.
