Ask anyone which search engine they use to find information on the Internet and they will almost certainly reply: "Google."

When you input a favorite movie, book, or artist, they recommend to you a world of titles or similar artists that you may never have heard of, but would most likely enjoy.
-
When you perform a search on Google, the results that you get are all from, well, Google!
-
They allow you to search not only Google, but a variety of other search engines too - in one fell swoop.

metasearch engines have been around for years
-
Dogpile, for instance, searches all of the "big four" mentioned above (Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and Ask) simultaneously
-
You could also try Zuula or PlanetSearch - which plows through 16 search engines at a time for you.
-
A very interesting site to watch is GoshMe. Instead of searching an incredible number of Web pages, like conventional search engines, GoshMe searches for search engines (or databases) that each tap into an incredible number of Web pages.

GoshMe is a meta-metasearch engine (still in Beta)!

TheFind is a better shopping experience than Google's Froogle, IMHO.

Like is a true visual search engine, unlike Google's Images, which just matches your keywords into images that have been tagged with those same keywords.

Coming soon is Mobot (see the Demo at www.mobot.com).

Google Mobile does let you perform a search on your mobile phone, but check out the Slifter Mobile Demo when you get a chance!

The Last Question
Issac Asimov, the preeminent science fiction writer of our time, once said that his favorite story, by far, was The Last Question. The question, for those who have not read it, is "Can Entropy Be Reversed?" That is, can the ultimate running down of all things, the burning out of all stars (or their collapse) be stopped - or is it hopelessly inevitable?
The question for this age, I submit, is… "Can Google Be Defeated"? Or is Google's mission "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" a fait accompli?
Perhaps the place to start is by reading (or re-reading) Asimov's "The Last Question." I won't give it away, but it does suggest The Answer….

Karen Vitek"Ask anyone which search engine they use to find information on the Internet and they will almost certainly reply: "Google." Look a little further, and market research shows that people actually use four main search engines for 99.99% of their searches: Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and Ask.com (in that order). But in my travels as a Search Engine Optimizer (SEO), I have discovered that in that .01% lies a vast multitude of the most innovative and creative search engines you have never seen. So many, in fact, that I have had to limit my list of the very best ones to a mere 100."
