Wolfram Alpha is a compuational search engine, the search engine you didn’t know you needed. While other search engines find things that already exist on the internet, Wolfram Alpha answers questions and also gives detailed information from real sources in the realms of science, math, geography and demographics. It performs numeric calculations on the data and displays the results in graphs and tables. Try searches such as "Joshua Jennifer", "weather 02575" or "gdp usa" (all without quotes).
Bing is an algortihmic search engine from Microsoft. Search pages are customized according to what type of search you do (health, travel, shopping, news, sports). The algorithms determine the order and layout of the page. This can include anything from images to videos and local results.
More like a scrapbook than a search engine, Spezify pulls pages from a large number of websites in different visual ways. lt shows you blogs, videos, microblogs and images.
