Looking for search engine

[Rainwalker]

I am interested in looking at search engines that are really not in the main stream as such, but do a fine job for most surfers............... any thoughts

[MikeBCda]

My personal favorite is DogPile, mainly because it's a multi-engine searcher -- uses Google plus several others. It used to display a separate results list for each engine, but they've cleaned it up recently so you now get a single "master" list sorted by pertinence. Still some duplicates, but not nearly as many as before.

AllTheWeb and metacrawler are a couple more.

Here are a few:

Thanks all .....i knew of most of those....just wondering if there was something i was missing. Saw some new ones that i will use( thanks again Adrian)...
there was was one in particular i hoped to see listed, in order to test drive, but it was not listed....it is a multi engine and begins with Cop...... anyone know
BTW... a few months i was reading something about one or two state of the art engines in developement....anyone know anything about this and where the projects might be now?.....Thanks again all.....anything other then Google
and to think once upon a time when it was unknown i sang it's praises.

OK-I disagree about using Ask Jeeves. AJ is getting into the big time spyware business. AskJeeves has merged w another co. and now runs MyWebSearch Bar, MyWay.com, MyWebSearch.com MySearch.com, and all their ugly cousins (see, e.g., www.websearchu.com/AskJeeves.shtml
or http://searchenginewatch.com/search...cle.php/3337511) which are BHOs and hijackers. AskJeeves also runs MaxOnLine, which says at http://www.maxonline.com/direct_mar...egistration.php that it's products allow "direct marketers to acquire permission-based information from a consumer during the registration process on the MaxOnline Network of partner websites" a/k/a "steal private information in confusing adware click-thru's and sell victims' e-mail addresses to spammers." There are hundreds of web sites where users complain about the difficulty of removing AskJeeves properties.

Perhaps a more descriptive name for their service would be "Ask Thieves"

As a backup for Google I use Teoma

[nadirah]

Try google or yahoo, they are my two favourites. I get most of my images from google. I just do a google image search and i've many pictures at my fingertips.
