Here's a few of the more web popular search engines that I actually
use. I still do like Hotbot a lot, but Google seems to be the top dog.
The new one to watch is Amazon's A9.com which looks promising.
I've kept the old Deja News name for what is now Google Groups.
The PDF search button is especially useful for technical papers.
And Google's new Scholar is for academic citations.
