searching through copernic agent basic

Copernic agent basic only allows 10 sites per search engine, it ranks the site on a percentage of relevance to what the search topic was.

I searched for "history of chinese politics" and it returned 50 sites. The first site was an article from yahoo and altavista:
Article: Policing Chinese Politics: A history - The China Journal.

Surprisingly I found that the search I did in google provided the first hit with more relevance than using Copernic.

Howerver overall, I found that Copernic was more useful as I was able to see which had the greater relevance first, before I entered the site, therefore I wasn't wasting time visiting sites with less than 50% relevance.
