Internet Search Engines


Many general search engines do not search their own databases. Instead, most draw their search results from the databases of either Google or Bing. 

Ask (question & answer format remains, but no longer uses its own database of Web sites for searching)

Google

Bing (Microsoft)

YaHoo! (now searches the Bing database of Web sites)

Here are two additional search engines you might want to try that are not nearly as large as Google or Bing but contain unique databases:

Exalead

Gigablast
