Monster Crawler – Robot Spider Combines Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I found a new (actually old but I didn’t know about it before) search engine by some graduates from Southern Illinois University. Founded in 1999 it has had a recent facelift as looks nice providing meta search results combined from Google, Yahoo, Ask and Bing.

They include “Did you mena…” type suggestions and related searches and I like the clean and professional looking interface.

See monster crawler in action here. It’s now added to our big list of search engines.

Stinky Teddy Lets You Search Gossip Online

Friday, December 25th, 2009

I just found out that Stinky Teddy is following me on Twitter.

Stinky Teddy is a real-time gossip search engine which gives your search term a buzz-o-meter score and if the buzz is high enough it will show you the hot news stories relating to your search term.

This search engine is developed by David Hardtke, a “Physicist turned search engine innovator” according to his Twitter profile, and was launched on the 15th of December after half a year of development.

Stinky Teddy is a meta search engine and uses data from Bing, Yahoo, VidoSurf, Twitter, Oneriot and Collecta which it then mashes up to become gossip results.

I added this one the the big list of search engines.
