Google is just adding value every time you turn around. The labs have have grown quite a bit in the past year. The momentum is staggering and the new services offerings of the Patent search, archival news, CODE (I don't find a lot here but at times it is useful), and the CO-OP is a step in the right direction for clients to get up and running. These solutions are not the best nor are they the worst, but, they are... The truth is, if your starting a search engine this is the mark and the services are all inclusive. If you think Google's not working on new GUI's, Search Discernment Engine and of course, Google.TV with Multi-Media Search capabilities, ya better think again. If you have thunked it, well most likely Google has too... But fear not young prusuer of solutions, there is a lot of unthunked material on this planet, hesitate not!
We never thought
Yahoo! would be dethroned and
Google did the job, ten years in the making.
Google strike'th the
Yahoo Heart and stumble she has even with 4/5 year lead. With the proper alignment of the stars and a brave new mind
Google, too, can be dethroned. It's quite a task. It's quite a mountain to climb. They do have all the data, the have battalions of great minds and the dethroning
Google, though not impossible, is probable. A David can come along when you least expect it but the worst you can do, especially for
Google is not expect it!

Google leading the charge and the competition taking shots to make their name creates an environment for us all to win!! Viva La Google and Every Search Engine Newbie!! And thank you, its what raises the Search Engine space to the next level.
Here it is a list of some search engines in for your reference.
To list just a few and, without doubt there are several more to come online with all the 2006 busy little search beavers taking a shot at Google. Success may tip, however, the Patent searching, News Archive search and CO-OP are here and now. Using these new Google Tools/Services, well, for now is easy. Google has "ALL" the data and well, many others are playing catchup and look at me.
I was mildly impressed with Accoona last year and today, well, 14 months later, the interface is just downright distasteul. So, basically, I am still Googling away... Though I like Clusty these days.
Point is, search is played out in the lay of the land and "Dark Web" searching, true discernment and parsing in real-time incoming/outgoing data is the next direction for corporate. Using the APIs and tool packs are what could make you a star in the corporate world!
