Search Engines...

[gore]

I haven't seen anything in Oops in a while.. That's odd. Have you told Joe about it?

I am looking for a more unregulated search site with unbiased and un-paid search results (as google) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am afraid that you will probably be disappointed as there is too much money involved these days. I even saw a job with a local consultancy for a "Search Engine Optimizer"

Personally, I use Google, Yahoo and Bing, and can generally find what I want.

I did use a scientific one a couple of years back that I would say was unbiased, but it wouldn't cover any of the topics you mention.
