• The Spider's Apprentice: Spidap (as it's affectionately known) is not another search engine. It doesn't crawl the Web looking for new URLs. It can't find stuff for you. It helps you find it yourself. The folks behind Spidap figure out search engines are most effective (even rating them, first in brief and, separately, more in-depth). It also includes ongoing discussions of new search engines and their techniques.
