LONDON - April 19, 2000 - Bright Station plc (www.brightstation.com),
the proposed new name for The Dialog Corporation plc (LSE:DLG, NASDAQ:
DIAL) - announces that WebTop.com, its concept-based search engine
provider, is partnering with news feed supplier Moreover.com to
significantly enhance NewsZone, WebTop.com's free news database.

WebTop.com will add Moreover.com's news service and its 1,500 global
news sources to NewsZone's existing databases that are searched by
WebTop.com and the WebCheck desktop research tool.  Webcheck utilises
'linguistic inference' technologies to make searching easier, by
identifying and matching key concepts rather than just key words. It
allows users to search the Internet without the need to open browsers,
use search engines or type key word searches, delivering comprehensive
and finely filtered search results.

WebTop.com and Moreover.com will jointly market and distribute NewsZone
and share the advertising revenues.  It is available to users at the
WebTop.com and Moreover.com websites.  Additionally, the WebCheck 
desktop tool is free to download from the WebTop.com site
(http://www.webtop.com).

John Snyder, CEO of WebTop.com said, "WebCheck is a desktop tool that
enables people to search the web for the concept they require.
Moreover.com have a rich supply of content for NewsZone and we are
delighted to announce this strategic alliance which will benefit not
just our two businesses but anyone looking to find news on the web in a
fast, easy way."

Angus Bankes, CTO, Moreover.com said, "NewsZone uses WebTop.com's
powerful search technology and will benefit from Moreover.com's news
feeds from over 1,500 editorial sources. This is a superb synergy of
content and delivery."
