1. Wolframalpha- At first I thought this search engine was directed mainly towards scientific or mathematical research.Once I clicked on the examples tab I realized it has information on a variety of subjects, though it is more streamlined and not as vast as Google.
2. Ixquick- This is a private search engine designed to allow the user to search topics without sending that information out over the internet. It would be very useful for someone who is concerned over governmental or business agencies accessing personal information.
3. Alhea- This website seems reminiscent of Google, albeit a watered down version. As indicated by the titles of Google and Bing at the top of the screen, I believe it pulls information from these two sites to display to users.
4. Contenko- Contenko is very basic. Searches pull up only links, no pictures or videos pertaining to the topic searched.
5. Wow- What I found enjoyable about Wow was that it has quick links to other popular sites such as Pinterest, and Amazon. As far as the search engine itself goes, it is extensive and includes a sizable list of possible related topics.
6. Blekko- Blekko is highly organized. Search topics are categorized into useful sections including quick answers, health, movies, and latest to name a few.
7. Webcrawler- This is another search engine very similar to Google, and indeed pulls from Google and Yahoo. It features videos, news, and photos in addition to website links.
8. Yahoo- I found Yahoo rather overwhelming as a search engine. It has adds, horoscopes, comics, links to various offshoots of itself. It would be useful for those functions, but as a search engine I find it distracting.
