This search engine is more like a mini Wikipedia.
-
Mahalo is not so much a Google replacement as it is a good place to find info on a particular subject quickly.

Wink is a People-Powered People Search engine.
-
Possible the most useful of the People-Powered search engines. Unlike the others, here your results are filtered live with a guide, who looks through the results of another search engine and finds the most relevant results. This can come in handy if you are looking for something very specific.
-
A completely editable search engine where the users edit the results. You can’t get any more people powered than this.
-
Jookster is more of a social bookmarking site than a search engine. The idea is the users mark their favorite sites, videos, or pictures on the web, and then you can search this database and the most popular and relevant links come up first.
-
Sproose is Digg meets Google. Links are voted on to judge their popularity and relevance. This is a really unique idea, but again it requires a large user base to actually be useful and I can’t help but think that it might be manipulated in the same ways Digg is to boost links in the results. Also right now it seems that no one is really using it so I think it’s too early to see how well this system will work out.

This search engine combines voting, tagging and social bookmarking and search into one . The users vote on the relevance of results to raise them in the results. They can also bookmark sites like you can on del.icio.us. Also, they can add tags to the sites to help make sure it gets included in relevant searches. The site has it’s own algorithm too. This makes for a seemingly wonderful search site, but again it’s lacking in users. Probably due to it’s poor UI, which is unfortunate because it has a lot of potential.

Eurekster allows you to make a Swicki which is a search engine that you can add to your site and it learns based on what your community searches for. The Swickis let your users search your site and look for content similar to yours as well. This allows the search engine to improve but the users don’t really have to do any work.

This is a “human-indexed” search site, which is the same thing as a PPSE. Here you are given a list of related groups of link created by the users that are relevant to your query and under that is the Google results. The users vote on the contents of the groups and while this does nothing to the relevance of the contents, it will probably help you decide which group to look at. Though, you’ll probably just end up looking at the Google results.

MyWeb is Yahoo’s attempt at a community powered search site. It’s a lot like del.icio.us except that it’s displayed in a Digg layout. Users save sites and tag them, you don’t even add a title. Then links rise in popularity as more people save them. You can then search in them and the results are bases on the tags and the number of saves. It’s basically like a ultra simplified social bookmarking site with an emphasis on search.
