Offers result presentation similar to ‘Like Google’, but additionally offers a selectable count of links.

Search option ‘More results from this domain’ not only enabled for result sorting ‘Like Google’, but also for ‘By URL names’.

Bug fixed that causes invalid results for multiple word queries, which contain numbers, like ‘price 25 euro’.

Sorry, but your password is too old. Your version of Sphider-plus is no longer supported in this forum.

If you like to get further support, you are kindly requested to purchase a new licence

and to download the latest version (v.2.4) of this search engine.

We have to "donate" 25€ for each minor release? Are you crazy in your head?
If I could, I would take my money back...
