Back in the day, HotBot was the power user’s search engine. It was clean, fast, and you could do a lot of advanced stuff with it. Now they’ve got a neat little feature that allows you to search Fast, Google, Inktomi, and Teoma all from the same interface, allowing you to easily switch between the results from each engine. It’s not a META search (which would include all the results from all the engines in one page), but still a pretty neat tool. And HotBot still has some of the best advanced search tools out there, and it incorporates the advanced tools from those various engines as well.
