How about Google...but not? Welcome to Scroogle!
http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm The key here is that it
uses google's search engines w/out leaving traces. Give it a whirl. I
use it on my website (puck.org) in place of the
Chinese-communist-lacky-Google. Or Yahoo, for that matter. Google,
Yahoo, MSN, whatever...they're the /Seven Sisters/ of the Information Age.

fwiw,

P.S. Sad how the US Treasury Dept can enforce anti-Cuban laws on US
companies but can't seem to "get it up" for the same principle with
China. The differece? Maybe that China finances the U.S.'s trade
deficit.

There are numerous search engines; however, there are really only about
4 unique ones. These include google, yahoo, Teoma (used by Ask Jeeves)
and MSN. Just about all the other search engines are actually driven
by one or more of these 4. In fact, MSN was actually driven by Yahoo
until about a year or 2 ago when Microsoft decided to create their own.


Personally, I like http://www.killerinfo.com which is a combined search
engine that uses several search engines and produces clustered results.
 

There seem to be squillions of search engines out there from "A1
DigiSearch" through to "Zworks".

Here are guides which list several search engines:

http://www.philb.com/whichengine.htm
http://www.hotsheet.com/ see directories
http://www.beaucoup.com/

Don't miss http://www.kartoo.com/ which does things very
differently and rather nicely. Needs Flash

Never heard of this one -- looks great -- thanks!
If you like it then you'll probably ready for MapStan : it creates a
logical network of sites with the search term. Visually very nice, and
it helps to concentrate lots of info into a readable form

Intriguing. I went there and typed in two different two-word searches:
- clean tile, and
- html forms

Both results came back with:
MapStan can not display your plan,
for technical reasons.
Our support team will be informed about your incident

I'll bookmark this bad-boy and be back. Interesting idea.
