Search Engines: Clusty: Clusty is a whole new way to search the web. Clusty queries several top search engines, combines the results, and generates an ordered list based on comparative ranking. This "metasearch" approach helps raise the best results to the top and push search engine spam to the bottom. But what really makes Clusty unique is what happens after you search. Instead of delivering millions of search results in one long list, our search engine groups similar results together into clusters. Clusters help you see your search results by topic so you can zero in on exactly what you’re looking for or discover unexpected relationships between items. When was the last time you went to the third or fourth page of the search results? Rather than scrolling through page after page, the clusters help you find results you may have missed or that were buried deep in the ranked list. http://clusty.com/ Search Me: Visual search of videos, images and webpages and many different categories. Can play inside the search engine. http://www.searchme.com/ Addictomatic: Find news, videos, photos, blogposts and more. Set out by source. http:// addictomatic.com/ Search Crystal: Search and compare multiple engines in one place. It is a search visualization that enables you to compare, remix and share results from the best web, image, video, blog, tagging, news engines, Flickr images or RSS feeds. You can embed as a widget on your site or blog. www.searchcrystal.com/ Info Please: General searches plus almanacs, biographies, dictionaries, encyclopedia, spelling. http://www.infoplease.com/
