How about a comprehensive searching tool that finds EVERYTHING on the internets just by putting your term into a little white box?

Nah, forget it. It'll never work.

13. I use switchboard.com most of the time

when I am doing a reverse lookup (have phone # and need address). You can search by category, town, state, or zip. Even provides a link to search for a zip code.

Google is also good, but I usually go to switchboard first.
