Why won't eSobi work with split-screen programs (such as GridVista and MultiFrame)?

eSobi users may experience problems trying to fit eSobi program window into screen grids set by sGridVista, MultiFrame or other split-screen programs. This happens because eSobi program window resize has been limited to provide optimal browsing. * We do not recommend running eSobi under split-screen environment.

In Meta Search, some [Search Engine] options cannot be checked. Why is that?
