[Always Right]

Between being overly commercial and outrageously too political, Google has ruined a once great product. I use to be able to find anything no matter how obscure, now I have to wade through a bunch of sites that want to sell me something and certain items are purposely hidden. There could be a big niche for someone who wants to make a clean search engine.

Agreed.

I use Yahoo as my homepage; but I hate it’s search function. I like Google, but I refuse to support a company with their leftist bias.

I use Dogpile.

Try cuil.com (pronounced cool)

It was started by the original creator of Googles algorithm and is someday supposed to rival Google.

Not exactly a search engine in the traditional sense, but here's what I'm working on:

A categorized cross-reference for:

• News Articles
• Columnists
• Editorials and Commentaries
• Informational Articles
• Discussions related to the Articles

Articles may be searched by 2 main methods:

• Title Search (3 sub-methods):
  • Exact Title Match (up to 100 characters)
  • Match On All Entered Words
  • Match On Any Entered Word
• Detailed Search (May include any, or all, or any combination of the following):
  • Categories & Sub-Categories (Search May Include Multiple Categoreis and up 4 levels)
  • Subjects covered within article (Multiple Subjects/Topics may be selected)
  • Authors (Writers) / Columnists
  • Publishers
  • Publisher Types (Newspapers, Magazines, TV, Radio, etc.)
  • Dates or Dates Range
  • Country, or Region, or City related to the news in the article
  • Number Of Hits (To select from the more popular articles)
  • Any Combination(s) of the above

Careful, the last time I said exactly that, I was severely chastised by many here...
