Useful Yet Less Popular Search Engines

Monday 16th of February 2009

1. Cuil. Aka the “Google Killer”, apparently. Just found out recently. Some says it is the ultimate search engine and is going to replace Google as number one search engine on the net pretty soon. But well, err things happen and they are still trying to beat Google. Just because they have a few exworkers from Google doesn’t always mean they know how Google works. Right now they search more pages than Google, Yahoo and MSN combined. Looks like they’re on the right track. Keep it up, and I’m sure they’ll manage to beat Google by 2050. Oh by the way, for the curious ones, cuil is an old Irish word for “knowledge’. Brilliant, I guess. 8/10.

2. Mix Turtle. Aka the MP3 searcher. Helped me a couple of times in the past. Once I was looking for a particular music file but somehow couldn’t find it. So I fired up Mix Turtle, and in no time I got the file that I’ve been looking for. Quite okay. Try it. 6/10.

3. Pipl. Spock. 123People. When it comes to tracking people down on the web, these three are the best people finder, other than Google and Facebook. If you’re looking for someone, then try one of these. I couldn’t tell you how much they’ve helped me in my detective work. Just don’t ask who I was looking for. And no its not you. 8/10.

4. MyLiveSearch. Okay, for the last one, yet another dubbed as “Google Killer” is MyLiveSearch. Though still in development, it is all ready creating a buzz all over the internet. It works by providing you a better live search. I don’t know. I just merely repeating what it says on the frontpage. Go on and read it yourself. As for me, I’ll be really interested to see how good it is when it goes live, but I can’t really see it working as a long term proposition. 5/10 for hype.

There are few more, but we’ll get back to that later. That’s it for now.
