oingo
- Billing itself "the Internet's first meaning-based search engine," oingo searches by meaning and word relationships rather than by literal text. In this way, it both avoids unrelated sites that contain exact text matches and returns sites with related meanings but no matching text. At present, the site is a demonstration of oingo for potential licensees, and it indexes only sites found in the Open Directory Project with additional hits from AltaVista.

Northern Light
- Northern Light is a robot-driven search engine of the World_Wide Web. It has two main differences from other search engines. It dynamically organizes search results, creating folders of documents with similar subjects, sources, or types; and it contains a "special collection" of 2 million articles from over 2,900 journals, books, magazines, databases and newswires not available on any other search engine. These articles are sold for $1 to $4 each. Northern Light is especially good when looking for academic information. Pros: automated subject-group "folders" (they work well!), indexes whole websites (not just first few levels), "special collection" of non World-Wide Web articles. Cons: does not support complex Boolean searches
