Alternatives for Search

Alternative Search Engines Offer Rich Options , by Paula Hane, Newsbreaks (Apr 1)

Alternative engines can give us a fresh perspective. Three are named in this article.

+ Leapfish - the living web - metasearch that targets social media.
+ Hakia - meaning based engine - except they did a redesign that I find unattractive and time consumign to use.
+ ipl2 - merger of Internet Public Library and LII.

It is a good practice to try new engines - and this article recommends following The Next Web for profiles and announcements. It also refers to Web Search Guide for more material - fior which I am honoured.
