Webaroo: Search the 'Net Even If You're Disconnected

Webaroo

Webaroo, according to its website, allows users to search the web even when the computer is offiline (not connected to the internet). Using a small download, Webaroo downloads a subset of the 'net (they call these "Web packs") and makes it available for searching. I haven't tested this service but I would *love* to have an offline copy of Wikipedia on my hard drive so that I can do searches faster.

A notable feature of Webaroo is its ability to connect to other devices such as other computers and handhelds to search the "web packs" on a local webaroo "library" within your personal network.
