Pac Bell ISP just dropped Yahoo as the default search engine and
substituted Infoseek.  Anyone else's ISP do the same?  Just wondering --
could it be because Yahoo now offers ISP /email?   Any other similar
stories?

  It's because Yahoo now has their own internet service that competes with Pac
Bell.  Check out http://www.yahoo.com and see.

  BTW: Pac Bell sucks!

That's because you're using PacBell's software. If you use your own copy
of Netscape, when you search you'll be automatically switched to the
Netscape site containing ALL the search engines to select from.

Why do you say "Pac Bell Sucks"?  Pacbell gives me the best service I've
ever had.  And I've used a lot of internet companies over the years.

Also, from the search engines listed on Netscape's site (the one you
get to from the search icon on the toolbar) there is a box you can
check to always return to that particular search engine the next time
you come to Netscape's site.  See for yourself:

	http://home.netscape.com/home/internet-search.html

I'd recommend the original poster downloading the latest version of
Netscape 4.04.  Much better than 3.01, in my opinion of course!
