I've put together a list of 150+ general web search engines; that is to say, search engines that search the web. It is not a complete listing, nor is it a 'best of'; it's just a collection of engines that I know about and that I've blogged about as well. There's a few specialist ones too! If you know of a general search engine that I've not included, please email me!

This information can be very useful for SEO - discovering related topics and what Google believes is relevant. It can also help when trying to claim/win a Knowledge Graph box on search results.

You get what you search for."

Spokeo is a search engine specialized in organizing people-related information from phone books, social networks, marketing lists, business sites, and other public sources. Most of this data is publicly available on the Web.  For example, you can find people's name, phone, and address on Whitepages.com, and you can get home values from Zillow.com.  That said, only Spokeo's algorithm can piece together the scattered data into coherent people profiles, giving you the most comprehensive intelligence about anyone you want to find.

Our mission is to create a working search engine for indexing, searching and cataloguing content present on the Tor network. Furthermore, we are creating an environment to share meaningful statistics, insights and news about the Tor network itself. Striving to support the Tor project, we are running exit nodes and tor2web nodes (tor2web.fi). We believe that the Tor network is an important, anonymous, resilient, censorship-resistant and distributed platform that can provide easy-to-implement anonymity to websites and other web services. Servers configured to receive inbound connections through Tor are called hidden services: rather than revealing a server's real IP address, an hi
