You might find the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clusty" rel="nofollow">wiki page</a> about it interesting.<br /><br />And dogpile seems to have more advertisements than your original post might have indicated; however, still looks like a reasonable google alternative.<br /><br />Cheers!<br />AmieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829539943100364349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-17853096122073486932009-09-05T16:53:01.941+00:002009-09-05T16:53:01.941+00:00I just checked it and it's not got a very clev...I just checked it and it's not got a very clever name/URL - it's easy to get confused with a number of other sites when looking for it in Google<br /><br />That's why browsers have to have very unique names!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-39489170221890608952009-09-05T16:38:25.059+00:002009-09-05T16:38:25.059+00:00TheHub.net is a new search engine, I've been u...TheHub.net is a new search engine, I've been using it for a few weeks in place of Google.peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-82883541591985469072008-12-01T20:31:00.000+00:002008-12-01T20:31:00.000+00:00Have you checked http://find.com yet?

I'd never have known you were struggling with window reflections.

I tried my name out on all of the sites, my blogs and website come to the top with Google but not necessarily so with the others, so I felt that the ones that put sunglasses higher (than me) were not as intuitive. Clusty was very interesting and I'll certainly consider using it together with bring back my google. But my goodness Google did change everything – the algorithms and search results are so much better than they were when Yahoo used to be the main search engine.Julie Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561525327058025185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-80754061859873652342008-11-29T15:01:00.000+00:002008-11-29T15:01:00.000+00:00I've used Dogpile for years.

I keep getting very fed up with Google as it's not actually as good as it makes out - and you really begin to realise that when you start looking at other search engines.<BR/><BR/>Clusty is really a revelation!<BR/><BR/>I'm still trying to work out how to make my information into a database of some sort. Maybe I need a search engine?!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-52966992168335497932008-11-29T12:55:00.000+00:002008-11-29T12:55:00.000+00:00Katherine, I checked out all the search engines yo...Katherine, I checked out all the search engines you listed and was fascinated by the different results each produced. I agree with John about the utility of Clusty---it's going to be very helpful to me, I can tell. <BR/>I think we should make YOU into a search engine. Your store of data would give Google a run for its money!Laura Frankstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528540633399368216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-56680753449717916962008-11-29T11:45:00.000+00:002008-11-29T11:45:00.000+00:00Thanks for the heads-up on Clusty.I am most impres...Thanks for the heads-up on Clusty.<BR/><BR/>I am most impressed with this search engine and was able to get far more information than with my old Google.<BR/><BR/>It digs further than I have become used to and can see this becoming my search engine of choice.<BR/><BR/>It's a bit like what I used to experience on Google before it got too big and clever.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for opening my eyes again.John Salmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270200534520689259noreply@blogger.com
