Going Beyond Google for Searches
September 6, 2010
There are search engines specially tailored to provide specific information. We found an IBNlive photo gallery displaying “Top 10 search Engines beyond Google” that may not be compelling replacements for Google, but are quite interesting.
You may have heard about Answers.com, one of the most reliable Q&A websites, or Healthbase.com that delivers results for health-related queries. There are more innovative search engines like WolframAlpha.com, that makes all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone, or the fashion search engine EMPORA.com bringing together thousands of stores and brands. You can search your music on Guruji.com, and track major Bit Torrent websites on isoHunt.com. GazoPa performs remarkable ‘similar image search’, where you can draw instead of typing the words, and Pipl.com provides the most comprehensive people search on the web. Yummly.com is fascinating for people who love to cook and search for recipes, and Like.com boasts of being the “first true visual image search” platform, now acquired by Google.

Interesting indeed. The deeper Google delves into semantic search, the more important these niche search engines will be…especially if you’re looking for a specific type of information.
