    An anonymous readers writes: "Hoping to attract more mass appeal for an online search engine with a cult following, Norwegian search engine AlltheWeb on Monday declared that it indexes more Internet information than longtime pacesetter Google. Boston.com has the story." Of course, pages indexed is not the only measure of a search engine and probably isn't even the most important.

    cah1 writes "BBC is carrying a story about another new search engine All The Web. The designers are planning to have the whole shooting match, all billion pages, indexed by the end of the year. " You can also read press from the company as well. I'm skeptical-they claim to be able to catch up within the first year, and keep up thereafter. But they claim to have 200 million already, so who knows?

    An anonymous reader wrote in to say "It seems that there's a new company out there called Fast Search and Transfer which is competing with Inktomi. They have a demo online at www.alltheweb.com and their engine seems to be ultra-fast. News about this is available here. Try out the demo, it is awesome what these guys have done." It is fast, but so far I've not had as good luck searching as with other engines. And the speed is probably largely due to the sparse HTML. But its not bad.
