That particular feature of OmniWeb [services->search in...] is one of the
few remaining that Netsurfer doesn't do better [and the only reason why OW
has been launched on my system over the course of the last week :-].
BTW: here's a convenient little trick if you find yourself using the
webcrawler or lycos long forms to narrow your searches a bit... grab the
html doc and make it local-- then the long forms are only a double-click
away. If anyone wants 'em, I have a lycos long-form that allows you to
throw queries at either query1 or query2 without having to get the bloody
form from cmu's rather over-worked server.
