You mean copying their ideas like.. Bing Maps?

That would be because Bing isn’t very advanced. It’s just the old MSN search rebranded, with one or two extra features.

Great list! Although I’m wondering why you don’t have any realtime search engines listed. If you decide to do another list you should take a look at Buzzdock. I use it with Google and I think is pretty good.

Thanks for the neat article, didn’t know about TinEye’s reverse image search. Useful stuff :)

Neither the current article nor the other one listing 10 invisible web search engines includes PIPL, an excellent people search engine. When I recently put pipl to test, I was stunned by the results. Please see http://bit.ly/8XfIiJ for details. To paraphrase Capt. Kirk of Star Trek, pipl boldly went where no other search engine has gone before.

Or True Knowledge (http://www.trueknowledge.com)? Both are great for finding the exact answers to factual questions. True Knowledge also has a brilliant FF add-on which adds the answer above your search engine's results.

Always interesting to see what gets picked as the best. This list does have variety, but "most advanced" is a stretch given the variety of search engines and technologies available today. Advanced in what way?

Duck Duck Go is certainly worth trying - it can help in identifying concepts in a query and major resources.

Another in the semantic category is Kngine.com - good for concept analysis.

Complete Planet? No. This was an interesting idea and somewhat useful tool several years ago for identifying databases that might have information on a topic. But look at the dates when databases were last harvested - 2004 and earlier - and many links are dead.

A much better set of engines for searching deeply is provided by Deep Web Technologies - http://www.deepwebtech.com/ .

The list is good but your intro is rather misleading. Search engines are portals to information, not actual sources of information. As such, they can’t be considered encyclopedias. Then you say advanced search engines enable you to “filter out” relevant information. What they really do is the opposite. They let you filter out *irrelevant* information, so that getting to relevant info is easier.

No not at all the title isn’t “Our Favorite Search Engines” it’s called the “Most Advanced”…Google makes the list but Bing doesn’t? That’s bias, plain and simple.
