Lots of search engines!

This is a list of a few search engines that you might find useful. It's by no means complete, but it might help you find what you need. If you want a list of general search engines or country/regional based search engines I have other lists for those that you can get from my home page.
If you find any links that are broken, or search engines you think are appropriate for this list, please email me.
Please be aware that I don't keep this list terribly up to date, so some of the links may not work.
