Most of these SE are still beta Chris. I have reasons to believe that by the end of the year at least one of them will surprise every one with the accuracy of their results.

The list is not in order of favorites. Actually I didn’t think about an order… I just listed 10 search engines that are more popular and have some chances if they play their cards right.

I have tested them and don’t think they are yet up to par. I am not the biggest Google fan but I do recognize they are the giant. A new company is bound to come along but I don’t know that it will be in 2008.

I may have missed the part that this list was in order of favorites? But I found some of the results less than what I was expecting. I see that most of them are in beta testing and will probably be that way for the foreseeable future.

Nice list and reviews. I have been watching some of these SE’s for a while but must say that a couple of these I didn’t know about.

Miss Dewey is really funny just RAM eating and does kinda slow searches. Nevertheless it is quite an interesting concept.

Laura, hakia is not ready yet. It is still in beta – public beta – and the developers still have a lot to work on it. Give it some time and you will see that this SE will kick Google’s derriÃ¨re.

I do like the Hakia search engine. I used it today and found that I got better (and newer) results than with Google.

I am confident in hakia, but sure this is not the only competitor. I forgot to include in the list Powerset and wikia search – actually I avoided including them, since they are still in alpha.

Thanks for this list Mig! Maybe the competition will be enough to get Google to play right. One can only hope …

No, Google is far more evil than Microsoft. At least with Microsoft you know one thing: show them the money. Google fools you into believing that they care. Newsflash: they don’t.

They build their empire on your ignorance.

Yes, Matt! I agree. I don’t really want to see Google dead either. I just want to see it competing fair!
