    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?

  2. New Search Engines

    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.
