I just loved this story - apparently a student has got into serious trouble for swearing at Ask Jeeves. I know we sometimes get annoyed at what search engines do or don't do, but I think both sides have gone a little overboard on this one! http://www.high-search-engine-ranking.com/StudentSuspendedforSwearingatJeeves.htm

This is a cool idea - you can use this site to check to see where your page ranks in Google, with regards to certain keywords that you add. It's worth trying out, just to see if it's of any use to you. http://www.top25web.com/

Some new additional terms that can be used with the AltaVista news feature - http://www.researchbuzz.com/news/2003/jan30feb503.shtml#additionalsearch
