If you’re still not satisfied with virtually all of the world’s
top search engines, then here’s an opportunity to keep searching for one
that suits you or might better target a niche of prospective hot clients.
About.com, formerly
the Mining Company, features hundreds of “guides” offering original
content in various areas. About.com isn’t really a search service, but has
its own top-notch content and extensive links to other sites.
Britannica.com, links
to top web sites and content from the Encyclopedia Britannica. What else did you
expect?
Excite results are dominated
by paid listings from Overture, with non-paid results from Inktomi.
Before Dec. 2001, Excite was a crawler-based search engine that gathered its own
results. Launched in 1995, it grew quickly and consumed two of its competitors,
Magellan (discontinued in 2001) and WebCrawler which continues to operate as a
separate service Excite was acquired by InfoSpace in 2001, which also operates
meta search engines Dogpile and MetaCrawler.
iWon’s results are
powered by Overture & Inktomi. iWon gives away
daily, weekly and monthly prizes in a marketing model unique among the major services.
WebWombat search engine begins “down
under” listing pages from sites within the .au (Australia) and .nz (New
Zealand) domains. It also provides global coverage.
WebCrawler is essentially
a copy of the Excite service, above. WebCrawler was originally a completely independent
service dating back to 1994, before being purchased by AOL in 1995, before being
bought by competitor Excite in 1996.
PepeSearch uses search
results from FAST (AllTheWeb).
Aeiwi : Not your normal
search engine, Aeiwi has you click on words to build your search. Read the instructions

Links2Go, a directory-style
search engine that uses artificial intelligence techniques to cluster related
topics and URLs together.

directory of web sites that offers instant indexing of submitted web sites.
