I thought the battle for search was done and dusted, but I guess that’s before I discovered tags and the semantic web. Still, I have my means of getting information in the way I want it and short of paying Google for the pleasure, am happy to hit their energy-sapping home page.
Take a look at these other search engines, and the great narrative they are presented in (would have liked links). I rate Kartoo and Quintura, because they attempt to define the non-linear relationships of the cloud, and its quick-loading and fun.
And read this article about all the various new search engines and what they bring to the party.

Derek,
Thanks for taking a look at AltSearchEngines.com! We have a blast, because we never run out of search engines – everyday we find a new one, and all day, all week, etc., we try to present them to you and your readers to enjoy them as we do.
Thanks again,

Thanks Charles, I really liked Kartoo’s model, but it appeared very…European. By that I just mean cartoon characters that are a bit over the top and unnecessary, also a use of flash which makes usability a pipe dream. Quintura seemed to move it up a bit. Will keep tabs on AltSearchEngines.com for the next great Search tool!
