Ok we already know and use google,  so no need for repeating or hijacking the topic with which one is best wars. I would like to compile a practical search engine list that has proven quality search engines in it. So please list your favorite search engines(specialized or non specialized) with short description

My favorite "alternative" search engine is Clusty. I find it especially useful when searching for more obscure things that I'm harving a hard time otherwise honing in on.  It's powered by Vivísimo. It draws from multiple search engines, including web/blog/wiki/news. Custom tabs can be created to customize what is used.

Most importantly, it "clusters" all of the results, essentially dropping them in folders allowing you to view a selection of the total results by category.  Attached is a donationcoder search, showing how it broke it down into reviews, discussions, et cetera.

Clusty looks nice. iZito is very similar.
