Creative Seach Engines

It seems as if every time someone can't answer a question, they say "I'll Google it!" Here is my list of search engines other than Google worth a try:
Pile on the Searches: The first one is not really "other than Google" because the results include Google results along with Yahoo, Ask and Live Search. Think that would give you a pile of search results? That's why it's called Dogpile! Dogpile's creators claim that each search engine gives different results, and this is one way to get them all in one place! There are filters you can control and also separate searches for news and the yellow/white pages. And, they donate money to rescue pets for every search. On top of all that, they have a cute mascot! What could be better?
Math Galore!: The Math Forum Internet Mathematics Library is a math website for everyone! There are all sorts of resources for students, parents, teachers and beyond. There are resources ranging from teaching guides to step by step tutoring. The diffuculties and levels range from pre-k to post-college research! There don't seem to be a huge amount of articles on each topic, but there are so many different topics, that there is something for everyone. It also lets you select specific topics, resources, ages, etc. Overall, it's pretty impressive.
Got a Question?: Honestly, I don't think I'd go running to this search engine next time I need to find something on the internet, but Wikianswers is one interesting site. Instead of searching the internet for you, you can submit a question or answer someone else's! But, then again, don't hold your breath on getting an answer . . . only 18% of the questions so far have been answered! It's all answered by people like you and me, although there are editors. However, anything found on this site should be confirmed with a reputable source. But hey, who knows when you'll have one line of a song stuck in your head and want to ask someone!
Ok, So I Couldn't Resist . . .: I know I said there'd be no Google, but I just can't resist Google Scholar. Ever had a research paper that was supposed to be based on "peer reviewed articles" and had no idea where to even start? Google Scholar is a great resource! Google Scholar searches only peer reviewed articles, books, abstracts, other "scholarly" resources and other things that teachers usually like for major research papers. It's especially helpful when you have access to a large library of articles in print, as some will only be abstracts before you have to pay for them. This is a much easier way to find articles on those shelves though than searching journal by journal!
So what are you waiting for? Get searching!
