I am in the process of building an all-in-one search application, so I'm collecting usage data on popular web search engines.

http://duckduckgo.com has been getting a lot of favorable mentions lately.

Enable WOT in Duck Duck Go by clicking Settings then scroll down to Site icons: and use the drop down to select All WOT + Favicons (both).

The same search engine is also https://startpage.com and https://startingpage.com. All enhanced by WOT. A huge plus IMHO.

This one is pretty cool. "Cloud" search engine. http://yippy.com

Family safe searches. I hit a certain search term and was told that they do not support that kind of search on it's cloud.

And another. This one is for the green crowd. http://gigablast.com

Never heard of it before, but if I had kids at home I would make it the only search engine they could access.

I was disappointed that Yippy is no longer taking on new accounts. The desktop version looked pretty interesting but you can't sign up to use it.

The OP's premise of building a search engine is a bit ambitious...

I want to thank you all for your replies.
Patio, I feel I should correct you - I'm not building a search engine, but rather an all-in-one search center to launch a keyword search on the web. And even if I were building a search engine, ambition is what programmers use to find their limits!

Thank you all again.
