Speaking of search engines..

Mozdex "is a search engine seeded from the dmoz.org directory. MozDex uses open source search technologies to create an open and fair index.
"Our goal is to be able to provide a powerful and open search service to the community.
"Please remember that this current system is in BETA.."

Qube v2 "centers around the concept of
browserless search, blending third generation websearch capabilities with user collaboration, progressive advertising & social networking." It's in private beta at the moment. Go to the page and enter your email if you want to check it out.
