Should just add that (Ask/Ask Jeeves) has always been pretty decent. I know Google dominate, but if I had to pick a second option then I would go for Ask.
www.Cuil.com is a search engine.. It was launched by Ex-Google employees.. http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/07/28/ExGoogle_employees_launch_Cuil_new_search_engine_1.html But it doesn't provide good results....
I can't believe that someones actually voted for Cuil ha ha. I just can't get over those multi column pages. Just because the developers have a good background, it doesn't mean that they can match Google, which they obviously think they can.
