Trying to keep up with all the new / redesigned search engines...

While it seems like Google's been developing everything but search, everyone else has been cranking out new (or new looking) search engines:

Redesigns:
Yahoo: http://mysearch.yahoo.com/
MSN: http://search.msn.com/
Ask Jeeves: www.ask.com

New:
Amazon: http://www.a9.com/
Clusty[1]: http://clusty.com/

[Update] Google is doing something new that's search related. Their answer to Amazon's a9 search is to steal a page from Amazon's book. They're adding a book feature.

And I missed Google's Personalized Search Feature: http://labs.google.com/personalized

Not sure if there's a lot of point to this, but I guess it's good to have some competition innovation in the search engine space. Most of these sites have gone with a Google look and just added a slight tweak.

[1]Who were the ad wizards who named Clusty? Sounds like a Japanese Gum brand.

  • It does make you wonder though - is it too late? Everyone keeps using google as a verb now so is it so ingrained or will they use it in the future how we use xerox now (regardless of the photo-copying hardware brand) ?

    Thanks for the tip on IceRocket. I'll test drive it for a day or so and see how I like it. I liked the thumbnails in MoreGoogle for a while, but then they started getting on my nerves.
