How can you get the best search results, get cash back and promote a healthy marketplace in web search? A few simple

steps:

1) Install Firefox - we need an exclusive feature from it.

3) Create a keyword that opens two tabs - one for Google and one for Bing.

Start by going to www.bing.com, right clicking in the search address, then selecting "add a keyword for this search".

Give it a short name like 'm' for multisearch and save it. Then go to the bookmark, right click on it and select

"Properties". Enter the following for the location:

javascript:void(window.open('http://google.com/search?q=%s'));void(window.open("http://www.bing.com/search?q=%

s&form=QBLH"))

4) Now when you need to find something, open firefox and type "m <item>" in the address bar. It will open a tab for

each search provider. Note: Firefox may prevent the tabs from opening the first time - if so, click on the "allow"

button.

5) (Advanced) If desired, add other favorite search providers by repeating the ';void(window.open("<url>"))' part of

the address above - you're in control.

That works for me. Do you have a better way?
