There’s a lot more competition among search engines right now, compared with a year ago.  Some, such as Bing and Google Squared, are updates to existing engines. Others, such as Hakia, Kosmix, Cuil and Alpha are new and different somehow. If you’re stuck in a search rut, check some of them out or read this posting on RW Web or this CNN article for more information.

There was a time when I used to try almost every search I did in several different engines, knowing I would get different results (altavista, hotbot, excite, etc). For the past several years, however, I have become entirely dependent on Google. I would love to get excited about a new search tool so will give these a try! Keep wondering how long Google will remain so firmly on top....
