Dogpile-All the best search engines piled into one. Including Google, Yahoo! Search, MSN Search and Ask Jeeves.
I know what you're thinking, but Dogpile is the next best. Unlike Metacrawler, Dogpile report its results by where it found them and it lets you specify how many results you want and also how long you are willing to wait for them.
