Hi, does anyone have a nice listing of quality search engines?
Most of the ones I used to use aren't so go anymore.
powersearch.com led me to a pizza website. I'm not kidding.

meta searches are the best IMHO, esp;

dogpile.com
mamma.com

the_other_one_that_I_cannot_think_of_cause_I_am_half_asleep.
com is quite good too <gg>

Metacrawler? used to really like that one. Then Google came
along and one started getting stupid results like: get best
prices on (search term follows) "a penny for your thoughts"

Talking about search engines ... anybody know any site for
searching for specific files (ie: "some_file.zip")
Typing the name of the file in Google doesn't give any result

That is the job for FTP search engines, for example:
http://www.filesearching.com/

It will find only files on FTP servers, no files on HTTP servers.
(Google does it the other way around)
 
Icam e in late on this thread, but I find google very unsatisfactory these
days, (and many on uk.d-i-y) agree, just looking for goods and suppliers is
nearly impossible because of all the "spam" results; although on research
type searches where money is not involve google still seems excellent.

Anyhow, I tried "unvented hot water cylinder" on dogpile uk and got great
results, *and* with the clusterd results like what you get from Vivisimo.

So thanx for that

I'm looking two features in a search engine:

1. true boolean searches, including the "near xxx" parameter.
Altavista used to offer this, but "near" disappeared from their
advanced search menu some time back.

2. a search engine that lets you do true multilingual searches by
translating your search terms into selected target languages and then
repeating the search serially in each language.

pants as he gazed into one of his favorite mirrors and tentatively
said to himself: "I'm a ****ing sock-puppet moron!!".

To which dszady being friendly and oh-so-helpful in building up New Wet
Kojak's new-found ego replied:

You cross-dressing, gender-confused waste of genitalia. Celibate, eh?
You mean in the closet, right? Or maybe you're a homosexual midget:
in which case, you're in the cupboard! The last time I saw something as
fugly as you, I was cleaning up after my dog. I've seen better looking
road kill. You're a politically vacillating phony liberal
****; too damn broadminded to take your own side in a debate. Calling you
a pea brain would be an insult to peas, you jellyfish-sucking mental
midget. Did your mother leave you in the dryer too long when you were a
kid, you little tap-dancing Leprechaun in a pink wig? Be careful you don't
bump your head on the door handle on the way out. If you were ever
kidnapped and eaten by a cannibal tribe, they'd all die of high
cholesterol, you fat, flabby, fumbling ****. You couldn't get a job
cleaning shit off a toilet, you utterly useless wrinkled balloon in a
muddy puddle of goat's piss. I've seen wounds that were better dressed
than you are, you toad-lickin', hound-kickin', snot-flickin', inbred swamp
spawn! Get a glass belly button; that way, if your head goes any further
up your ass, you can still look out and see what the rest of the world is
up to. You have less value than a festering discharge from a leper's
rectum in Calcutta. Do the world a favor: stab yourself in the heart with
a rusty spike, you frontal lobe amputee. P.S. Shit-Breath You know so
little and know it so fluently."

HTH
Thank you for your time and patience.

Well that almost worth a score of 10/10 on the abuse scale, but because
you left out 'scum sucking exploded amoeba', I can only score it a
9.5/10. Oh yeah, I now have to hose the beer outa my keyboard (I've
licked what I can off my keys).

Thanks
I'll have to remember 'scum sucking exploded amoeba'. Believe me, there's
also plenty more for him if he so desires.

That is really cool. I did not know there was such a thing as
an FTP search engine.

Thanks for that!

The most comprehensive listing is Search Engines Worldwide:

While you are there have a look at Cybergirls Worldwide.
