http://www.sirseek.com has opened their beta search engine for public
testing. They have a neat feature that gives you similar words (limited
as still beta) that you can select to add to your next search (almost
like an extra brain/mind giving you ideas of what to look for next).
I can see good things to come with this beta search engine (they are
setting up tools like the other big boys, like PPC, banners, etc), they
are really too new and fresh to be ranked yet as a major search engine.
How knows, Google started this same way...
SirSeek.com realizes they are not yet giving good search results
(limited database due to limited hardware), so they have created the
best toolbar I have ever seen on
http://www.sirseek.com/toolbar/ that
searches hundreds of search engines (many other free features too),
guaranteeing that I found data on any subject imanginable.
Didn't much like the layout but SirSeek.com is working on new design
layouts such as
http://www.sirseek.com/new/ that shows much
improvement. Still not sure about the color scheme, but I guess it is
hard to make me happy...
