While all of the big names in searche get the most attention, there are some smaller players who have something to offer. Some of them have features which the larger search engines start using later.
Some of the alternative search engines aren't bad. At the same time, some of them aren't very good either.
As a search engine fan, I use a lot of different search engines. But like many other people, Google is the one I use the most often. However I continue to use the alternative search engines at times just to see how they perform. Some of you might also do this.
Mooter might sound like a strange name. It is an alternative search engine that I've used at times over the past few years. It is a clustering search engine.
The people behind Mooter says it tries to understand the psychology of how users interact with information.
While you are searching, Mooter analyses the choices you make. It then reorders the results based on what you are actually looking for at that time without you having to go back and rephrase exactly what you want.
Here is a link to Mooter in case you want to give it a try and see what you think about it
