Search+Engines

Yes, we all know that Google rocks the search engine world. But what if there were other search engines out there just waiting for a break? Well, there are! Jump off the Google summer tour bus for a bit and become a Clusty or a KartOO groupie. You might like it.

[|Clusty] Clusters your results by topic. [|Ask.com] Librarians work this search engine, so it must be good. Offers ways to expand and narrow your search. [|Cuil] Created by former employees of Google. We like the look of this site. Makes us feel organized. [|Grokker] Check out the map view. [|KartOO] Visual search engine. Mouse over the results for more information. [|Librarians Index] For quality search results, this is your engine. Librarian-reviewed sites only.

If you need timely information, you would do well to choose a news search engine or database. Try these: [|Google News] Yes, we know. But it's updated every 15 minutes! [|Yahoo News] Check out the monthly archives. [|10x10] "Every hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time." Very cool.
