My news reader is a news search engine.

All The Web indexes over 2.1 billion pages.

Ask combines all of its types of searches into one.

Mahalo is a "human-powered search engine" that uses freelancers and volunteers, overseen by editors, to compile results.

Chacha offers live guides to assist users with their queries via a chat window.

Squidoo pays users to build link-rich "lenses" on topics of interest.


c4.com, not unlike Google, is another parallel search engine. If you go to its advanced page and search for files it does a superior query drilling down into the other search engines.

Excite (help page) (50 Million+ Pages) gives you the option to find "more sites like this one".(28%,D,R) Recently I found several pages with Excite, that I couldn't find with Alta Vista or HotBot.

Alta Vista (help page) (over 50 Million pages) will translate any page from another language. (28%,C,D,F,V,W,I) - Search AltaVista: Find What You Need

Infoseek (help page) (1 million+ pages) - Internet World tests also show it to provide the most relevant results (Venditto, 1996)."(A,Y,X,R,J,K,F,L,M,N,O,P ,Q)

Webcrawler (500,000 web pages) (owned by America Online) is good for simple searches, has some customization capability. (A,C,Y)

Foto Search "... allows users to search from more than 20 million images starting at just $3. They can also find royalty-free clipart pictures, illustrations, stock video clips, poster, prints, and more. Our database contains images from over 120 stock images vendors from all around the world. This would be a great resource for your readers!"
