Search Engines You Never Knew Existed

As a search engine junkie, I’m always pulling for the little guy with a unique idea. I love competition in the marketplace. Sadly none of these have any notable market share.

(Update – unfortunately the majority of these are offline now in 2020. In those cases, I disabled the link.)
