I format my pc pretty often since I check the software out before I post it on my site and telescope is always on the list to reinstall asap after the format. Like I said, it's much better than the average bear or in this case search engine.

Ever since the meta browser known as Bullseye went out, I have been unhappy with all other meta search programs, until Telescope came along. Telescope is a light weight search tool to search the web using several search engines at once and displays the results in one window. It's fast, powerful, with relevant results, and easy to use too. For the advanced users, being able to edit the search.ini file to make your own site searches, search engines, and categories, makes Telescope my favorite search tool. The customizing of search engines will allow you to create up to 255 search engines to suit your own needs. A big Thanks goes out to the makers of Telescope.

Simple, but sweet

I've used Telescope for about a year and really like it. The interface is very simple without bells and whistles, but the program allows the use of Boolean expressions and is very fast. Most search tools that I have tried do not allow such filters, which greatly improves search results.

A good, fast, and reliable web search tool

- Overall:
Telescope is an impressive search tool. Although its interface is minimalistic and the program lacks certain bells and whistles found in other search tools, Telescope makes it up in speed and exhaustive search results. The interface has been updated somewhat, giving the tool a more polished look. It looked crude in its earlier incarnations. Now though, Telescope is starting to take on a more professional appearance. More good news is that Telescope is just a fast as ever when searching the web: Its search speed puts Copernic and even WebFerret to shame. And, on top of that, Telescope finds relevant entries that neither of those other two search tools even hint at. So, if you're someone who searches the web often, you owe it to yourself to try Telescope. It may be plain-looking and a bit basic -- but it's a winner!

No-frills --- does the job.

Fast and effective metasearch engine. It found many obscure things I had problems finding with Copernic Agent. Not fancy, but it is fast and does the job well. Searches can be coverted to html and saved, if desired.
