    I find that Google, Yahoo and MSN SE are the best. I rarely get any visitors from other SEs anyways

    CUIL -- pronounced "Quill" but I'm not sure--- is the best new search engine out there.

    www.cuil.com

    The founders of CUIL are former Google employees. They have taken the best attributes of Google and combined them with the best attributes of Yahoo, Alta Vista, and Search Me.

    I like the relevancy of the search results....if you are optimized with Google, you will love CUIL even better.

    Its so good, I may start linking to them from my web page.

    Eventually if enough people start linking to cuil, maybe Google will finally have some real competition!

    GO CUIL!!!

    New search engines crop up every day by the dozens....i guess

    Apart from the top 3, all other search engines have minimal users and that too, they have mostly localized users.

    Thanks for the list :)

    I used to use Lycos back in the day, but only because it seemed to produce better Brit based results. I haven't looked at it in years now.
