+ This class is the parent for all access method supported
+ by the WWW::Search library. This library implements a
+ Perl API to web-based search engines.
+
+ Current search engines supported include AltaVista (both
+ web and news), Dejanews, Excite (web only), HotBot (web
+ only), Infoseek (e-mail, web, and news) and Lycos.
+
+ Search results are limited and there is a pause between
+ each request for results to avoid overloading either the
+ client or the server.
