Are there any other niche/specialty search engines?

    I'd like to compile a list of niche or specialty search engines, for instance search engines that only show results for recipes, game related posts or just SEO. Does anyone know of search engines that only feature specialized results?

    I personally use only 3 search engines, 2 of them, from time to time. Google, Yahoo and Bing. Why would I need a niche based search engine when I can find almost everything on this 3 search engines.

    For any number of reasons. For instance, some search engines focus on niches like recipes or medical topics. Just depends on how specific you want to get.

    Some useful links to alternate search engines.

    Kinda off topic but wasn't Mc Hammer building a search engine?

    It was in the news few years back, don't know what they are doing now, probably they gave up. Too bad, I know I'd use it :)

    The search engine launched in late 2011 was called WireDoo.

    This is the only link i could find from the LA Times

    http://wiredoo.com/

    But the site doesn't seem to be working now.

    It was supposed to be an innovative way to search, focused on deep search and relational topics. Guess it was an idea ahead of it's time.

    He seemed to have very good intentions with this new search engine. But good intentions are not good enough when going up against Google.
