@Chetan Technorati has benn improving the performance of their Search Engine from past 2 years. They have made attempts to create an efficient algorithm, but were not on the success role. But recent update proved to be some improvement in its performance..

@Tinh Not even Bing or Yahoo, Google's algorithm is such an efficient one, I think its the ultimate one, no one can create a better Search Engine than Google

@Siddartha I gotta second Chethan on this one, Technorati's service and quality is so low that I'm not recommending that to anyone until (if) they step up their game again.

Interesting choices on the list nevertheless. Personally, I'm sticking with the one since I have not found a reason to drift away from the big G as I can find anything I need with it.

Thanks, the article was very useful! I also use http://www.usemeplz.com to search files on rapidshare, think that is rather good searcher. Like it most because it’s design is very simple and there are no annoying spam banners on the site.

No search engine will ever be as popular or as good as Google

Wolfram is not a search engine per se. It a computational engine.
its like a intelligent calculator.

Surprising to me, it’s funny how Office Supplies said: “I’ve never heard of these sites” Technorati is the Google of Blogs… do you know Technorati was indexing 112.8 million blogs? I agree you haven’t heard of these sites but for Technorati, please!

Siddartha September 4, 2010 at 11:16 pm

@Free TV Shows thnx a lot for your comment on GadgetCage. Hope you enjoyed the article. Yea every year over 81 thousand blogs were registered according to Technorati.

Useful list…Google certainly rules the roost when it comes to search but sometimes you need to get to something very specific such as a Wiki article an eBook, a piece of software, a social networking post or recommendation, usenet article. In these circumstances Google is not always so great.

I came across a website recently, http://www.search-thing.com that from a single page allows you to submit a search to a whole host of sources including the usual Google fare plus the very specific searches like those above. I found it pretty useful when researching something when Google doesn’t quite cut the mustard.

There is another File Search Engine FindFiles.net which supports few thousand datatypes. Its results are categorized in a main category like: image, text, audio, archive, video, software, 3d, misc, geodata and chemical. Each of those categories contains subcategories by datatype like jpeg, gif or png for image or exe for software.

One can directy download files or visit the page where that file has been found on.

I think Bing and Facebook are the real threat. Facebook might even put google out of biz.

Google has been the most famous search engine for years and many have created sites similar to it.Some are better, some are not. But these other sites are doing their best in order for them to be on top and beat Google. Now that Google knows that there are many search engine sites that can be good alternatives, Google are probably doing something to defend their rank.
