Wolfram Alpha is in the midst of a gradual launch.Their search features looks pretty impressive, but even more so is their launch command post, looks like a scene out of NASA: <a class="user" href="http://www.justin.tv/clip/2dd6b9f07e7f8a4e">http://www.justin.tv/clip/2dd6b9f07e7f8a4e</a><a class="user" href="http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2009/05/15/counting-down/">http://blog.wolframalpha.com/2009/05/15/counting-d ...</a>

That wasn't the case. It was a dns problem. If you got sent to a certain server you got that message, but overload wasn't the case.

Some interesting search engines listed in that article. I've also had very good luck with www.sweetsearch.com lately.

I'll be looking forward to something useful for a change instead of all this corporate bloat!

Could Google be stalling the advancement of the Internet? The hords of us, web developers, trying to create "search engine friendly" sites are certainly contributing to maintaining a status quo in the online search market but good to see that alternatives are emerging...<a class="user" href="http://all-things-spatial.blogspot.com/2009/06/could-google-stalling-advancement-of.html">http://all-things-spatial.blogspot.com/2009/06/cou ...</a>

Fusionsearch is also pretty damn good. Merges results from Google Bing and Yahoo and has a very cool design! Also it seems to be able to do it quite quickly. Located at <a class="user" href="http://fusionsearch.us.">http://fusionsearch.us.</a>

Interesting, but I do not see anyone really competing against Google... when that happens I will be excited but I have yet to seen even slight evidence for it.

The thing is should we give those new search engines a try or should we just stick to Google.com.I am sure that no one has the time to try every possible query to determine who is the best.Lately i have heard of a few new competitors , including: Bing.com, Avasearch.com, Cuil.com, clasearch.com. I have tried some queries and they all gave me good results. But i prefer sticking to one search engine and untill i don't hear from the experts ....
