Search

When we want to search the web, most of us start and stop at Google. However, there are a lot of other new search engines being added. Some of them are not really ready yet, but they are getting there.

Microsoft has a preview of its search here. Some of these search engines even add new features not available on Google such as storing your bookmarks. You can see this on Amazon's A9 search engine. And also on Yahoo's My Yahoo Search. A few other search engines are Clush and Clusty that offer what they call clustered searches. Then we have Teoma and Blinkx. The only problem with Blinkx, is that it is a downloaded app that wants to be with Microsoft Explorer.
Yahoo Local lets you search by geographical region, however this wont work everywhere yet. A good place to keep track of all this at Search Engine Watch.
