if you're using IE7 or Firefox, you can define multiple search engines where you (probably) now have Google or Live Search defaulted [in the upper right hand corner]. you might add, for instance, OneLookand refdesk* and Wikipedia and Bartleby and Answers.com and Ask.com and Thesaurus.com etc. etc. etc.
now, with all these resources just a click away, you can choose the one which is most applicable to your immediate needs and type the word or concept into the search box et viola's your aunt.
I believe many of these that I mentioned can be added directly via the "Manage Search Engine" (Firefox) or "Find more providers" (IE7) browser functions. but you can add most any web resource that you like via these same functions, not just the ones that are "canned"!
*Mozilla does have a plugin for refdesk, but it merely results in a refdesk search, which I don't find to be real useful.
