kosmix

http://www.kosmix.com/

Yet another search engine..but I think this is different. It's true that we are heading into an information age and unless we organise data properly...we will be lost. Kosmix offers searching for pages related to three categories "Medical", "Travel" and "Politics" as of now.

I haven't tested the precision of the search results, but it's a promising direction for search engines. If I am looking for travel/medical information, I would definitely prefer a search engine which only indexes pages in that category rather than breaking head in google thinking of the right keywords. But I don't think that anyone can beat the top 10 results of google. It's all the magic of eigen vectors.
