Challenging the conventional wisdom that Google has solved all the search problems, the librarians at the University at Albany (SUNY) have compiled an extensive table showing How to Choose a Search Engine or Directory. There really are quite a few other engines out there, many of them aggregators from the more established sites, but with plenty of interesting features to exploit. Well worth taking a look around.

Good resource.

By the way, the school isn't University of Albany. The logo says University at Albany but locals used to call the school SUNY Albany.
