It happened on May 14, 2009. The day the world stopped spinning and people sat with empty gazes at the computer screens, their mouths slightly ajar, their fingers frozen over the keys. Phones rang, babies cried, dogs barked, but no one could do anything about it. Google had stopped working. Search queries hung in the abyss while people blinked and wondered what to do next. Some wandered outside, lost and confused. Some walked into walls like blind robots and some, like me, discovered FuzzFind.
You never realize how locked into a particular search engine you get until you start using a different one and realize the results, for better or worse, are different. Using any kind of multiple search aggregator is not a bad idea. Why not get the top results from Google, Yahoo and MSN all at once? They do differ, but those all must be good to warrant a page one ranking on different engines.
Multiple Search Aggregators:
Give some of these mega-search engines a try and you will not be left alone in the world when a major search engine chokes and dies. Or you could just go outside and sit on a log until you’re able to plug back in to the World Wide Web.
