Everyone loves Google, and it’s easy to forget that other search engines specialize in certain types of searches. Use the drop-down menu at the top of this page to create a list of search engines specializing in the type of data you need.

Interested in news and current events? Children’s search engines? How about the hidden or invisible web? There are search engines and directories unique to your need. My favorite are the country based search engines – there are 85 for Russia!

If you’re curious about how comparable search engines stack up, select “Comparing Results” from the drop-down menu. Among the comparison engines is Blindsearch – the “search engine taste test” where results are given in three columns. Vote for your favorite column and it reveals which search engine you chose as the best.
