| Welcome to the Sherlock International Plug-ins Archive. I hope you find these plug-ins useful for searching a variety of international content on the Web. These plug-ins deal mainly with sites that offer some type of international content, whether its international affairs, news, business, commerce or foreign language sites.
To use these plug-ins you will need MacOS 8.5 or greater. Simply download the file(s) and drag the plug-in(s) to your system folder. You will then be ready to search several websites, simultaneously, without ever opening a web browser. All files are very small (15k or less) and download in a few seconds. You may need StuffitExpander 5 or greater to extract files. If the icons are not showing up, try using Icon Fixer. |
