GLseek metasearch engine ( http://www.glseek.com ) can search and return results from Google, Yahoo, Live and Ask .
Its a powerful metasearch engine and i like it too much.
It can search for everything you want : web ,images, videos (great), news, jobs, wikipedia, travel ,Shopping and …

This metasearch engine has some unique features.
After searching it rank results by relevance. Why?
However Google, Yahoo, Live themselves rank results by relevance but as they are using of different algorithms, GLseek will rank results again to give best results to its users.
Most metasearch engines can return only limited results, for example they can give at most 300 results to the visitor but GLseek will give all results from above search engines to the
visitor. It’s a very unique technology which is used in this

Amit, thanks for the post. Your analysis seems to be restricted to our homepage. To experience the product completely, you should enter a topic into the search box. For instance, here are the search results for the query “chocolate cake”: http://www.kosmix.com/topic/Chocolate_Cake, and the search results for diabetes are here: http://www.kosmix.com/topic/diabetes. You’ll see that we contextually pick the best content from the web and also organize the results for the user. Would love to hear your thoughts after you try a few searches. Do note that we’re not aiming to be a google replacement; here’s a good post explaining how we’re different from other search engines: http://anand.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83471bc3153ef01053650ea27970c-pi

Kudos to Kosmix for landing $20M in funding and for trying to change the face of search,

But you should check out NeXplore (www.NeXplore.com), another search engine working mightily to change the face of search.

With approx 4M unique visitors/month, NeXplore is faring far better than Kosmix, Cuil, Mahalo, Searchme, CoolIris, etc.

Don’t take my word for it. Check out NeXplore vs others on Compete.com
