search tools

The first search tool I selected was www.gigablast.com.
Features:
- The boolean operators are pretty much the same as googles. Nothing really new here.
- There is something called the gigablast answers/questions, which is setup to answer questions with short answers.
- Has the ability to discard duplicate web pages.
-URL are indexed in real time to get the most up to date web pages.
- Super recall feature can bring queries that would normally end up as no result, with results

Yippy.com:
- uses other search engines to make searches that are usual harder to find for you.
- Doesn't track your activity when making searches. Good privacy proctection
- Has similar services as Google, mail, documentation, calenders, streaming.
- Prevents most relevant results on the same page.
- Puts  documents into subcategory folders and provides results in an easy-to-view format


Open Directory Project:
- Directory submissions are free
- Biggest categorized directories of websites and pages maintained by volunteers.
- Volunteers review directory not for profit, but it may take a long time to get listed.
- Source of quality content
- gives you more incoming links to your websites so you can get popular.


I would use the first 2 search tools more since Gigablast is new to me and it looks like its easy to use. Yippy is in competition with google so, it has the same features. I would like to use those more.
