Top 10 Wacky Search Engine Names
Remember the days when the internet was shiny and new, and how there used to be so many search engines? That was long before Google held dominance. Many people used different search engines, even during the course of a single day, to find information online.
While Google and the other search engine giants are more convenient, what many people now no longer realize is that there are smaller, and also better search engines out there. Most of them help users to hunt down information relating to very specific topics—and some of them are quite bizarre to say the least. If you’re looking for something interesting online, try searching on one of these special interest search engines.
10. WackoSearch
The entire purpose of this search engine is to provide you with search results that have nothing whatsoever to do with your query. Why? Because being always correct is too boring. WackoSearch’s tagline says it all – “You’ll be amazed how wrong he can be.” Put in a search query and WackoSearch returns a list of the most irrelevant search results you’ll ever find. But it’s not all junk, as a browse through the results could give you some of the best finds on the internet. At least I got quite a few funny results which got me searching for more and more. It’s an addiction!
9. Oh My God LOL!!!
This is a bizarre search engine you can really make use of (for non-work purposes. Oh My God LOL! is one of those cool search engine that trawls for cool pics of the query you put in. It is a funny pictures search engine and therefore quite useful, if you have a good sense of humor. Try out Oh My God LOL! with a few odd phrases. You can use some of the images yourself for your own research and Facebook shares.
8. The Lesson Finder
This search engine was designed specifically to bring up lessons and tutorials on various topics. It seems to work pretty well for really basic subjects like “Algebra,” but so far isn’t very useful for more specific subjects like “Latin” or “South America.”
7. Yippy
Yippy is a Deep Web engine that searches other search engines to find relevant search resultsfor you. Unlike the regular Web, which is indexed by robot spider programs, Deep Web pages are usually harder to locate by conventional search. That’s where Yippy becomes very useful. If you are searching for obscure, hard to find blogs, obscure government information, tough-to-locate obscure news, academic research and otherwise-obscure content, then Yippy is your no.1 search engine.
6. MP3Skull
Mahalo is the one of the few ‘human-powered’ search site left in this world. It employs a committee of editors who manually sift through thousands of pieces of content. This means that you’ll get fewer Mahalo hit results than you will get at Bing or Google; a good thing. But it also means that most Mahalo results have a higher quality of content and relevance. That’s what I want to hear!
