To search for people and groups on the Internet
There are two ways to search for people on the Internet using Search Companion. You can type a phrase or sentence using natural language, such as "give me information about John Smith in Anytown, USA" and the search results might include anything from John Smith's address to his genealogy Web page. You can also choose from several Internet search services that specialize in finding e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and names.
