New Search Engines

1. inSuggest - This is very nice. There are two options, both of which work in the same way; web pages and Flickr images. You type in a URL of a site that you like to start with (basic URL seems to work best, it gets a bit confused if you go deep into a site.
2. Mnemomap is part search engine, part visual, part multi search engine. Type in a word or phrase, get a map of terms of synonyms and neighbours (a search for web gets you net, internet, www, world wide web etc), tags and translations.
3. Similicio.us Very simple concept behind this one. Just type in a URL or a specific webpage or perhaps an article and this engine will try and find similar sites.
4. Keotag - tag search multiple engines. This is a meta search engine with a slight difference in that it's looking mainly at the social networking/bookmarking area.
5. Ajax Whois 2.0 - fast domain name search and whois. It allows you to see if a domain name is available, and if it isn't, you can get information on who it belongs to.
