Here's lots of alternatives to Google offerings:

 

Live Search A high power alternative to Google
Search and Give Uses the Live search engine but you can set up an account so that a charity or school of your choosing gets a few cents every time you search!
Clusty Search This is an alterative that draws from several search engines including Google unfortunately
Live Toolbar Need a toolbar alternative, use this one
MSN Video An alternative to YouTube for hosting your uploaded videos
Live Maps Need driving directions, this will work (Though I'll concede Google has an extra feature that's nice)
Virtual Earth An excellent 3D mapping program
Live Mail
Live Mail Client
Plenty of space for all your email and a nice client for it as well!
Live Spaces A place to blog, host photos, store files, etc
Photosynth A very cool way of bringing dimensional perspective to your photographs

I did a search on Patti Blagojevic and all the article are three to four years old.

Try with the correct spelling, and see if it's enhanced any.

What's wrong with the way I spelled it?

Blagojevic

You forgot the 'h' on the end.  Do a search on "Patti Blagojevich"
