WilsonWeb Databases Now Include Direct Link to Google and “Other” Popular Web Engines
Notes:
1) The announcement does not indicate what the other popular web engines are.
2) The announcement also uses the example of a search for info about a painting, “The Progress of Love”. Other than a direct link to the museum where the painting is on display the remaining nine links on the results page have nothing to do with the piece of art.
