I am prepared to admit that other search engines are better in specialist spheres. This being so you could, I suppose, decide in what area you wanted to search and provide the appropriate engine four you. In fact Google already does have specialist areas. The selection of a specialist area should really be transparent to the user. As I said Google, unlike Windows is not bungled. The fact that Google is constantlt increasing its share seems to point to the fact that it is perceived to be the best for the general search.

Just a note that your link is to the oldest list (January) www.ReadWriteWeb.com has the more recent months and commentary, and the popularity has been such that now there is a new R/WW blog "AltSearchEngines" ww.altsearchengines.com. There may not be any one (1) alt search engine (ASE) that can challenge Google, but what about our Top Ten (10), what about the Top one hundred (100) list?; what about the Master list we maintain of the Top one thousand (1,000) - could 1,000 ASE muster the creativity and resources necessary to draw some interest away from the major search engines?
