StumblingUpon Search Engines

I decided to take Matt Keegan's advice given in the comments of a recent iWebis post. I decided to do several minutes of Stumbling.

I narrowed the category to just "search." And here's what I came across.

Netvue - an image search engine. The results appear in a new page as a slide show. You can set the speed of the slide show. Pause the show by clicking on an image. Unfortunately, the first result for a search of the word cat turned back this:

Next, I thought I stumbled on Google. But upon closer examination, I had stumbled upon Google Pig Latin. Unfortunately a search for atcay returned a page about a gene card.

Scirus labels itself as a scientific search engine. Sure enough, the first result for cat is a page about CAT Scans (which I'll gladly take over an MRI anyday).

I know this will come as a huge shock, but Imagery is another image search engine. When you mouse over a result, a new box appears over the image offering users the option of opening the source code or opening the image in a new window. Thankfully, the first result for cat is this cutie:

So that's a peak at some of the search engines featured on StumbleUpon. So go on, get your search on!
