A search form dominates this page, as shown in Picture 2, above. This form lets people search using one of the search services without having to first visit the actual web site. They'll be taken there automatically when the results appear. Unlike the home page, the Net Search page has no default provider. Instead, it rotates through the different choices, though by paying more, a provider can come up more frequently.
Users can also make a particular provider their permanent choice.
Netscape, as the home page default search choice, is shown with a 1. Premier providers are shown with a 2. Distinguished providers are shown with a 3. By default, the MSN home page appears when someone uses Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. The MSN Search service is featured on this page.
