weink writes "A new generation of scrappy search engines is emerging to challenge the dominance of mighty Google . An article at Wired News lists up-and-coming search engines, WiseNut , Teoma , Lasoo , CURE , and Vivisimo . Take a look, and give them a try. But I still say that nothing is better then the almighty Google ."

  4. Things do know... by ChrisBennett · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What we really want to know is whether these search engines run Apache on Linux?
    Are they Beowulf clusters? Do they filter out petrified Natalie Portman and hot grits?
    Do they index slashdot properly?
    Is the pr0n all indexed?

    These are important questions which must be seriously answered before changing search engines.
