Topic- specific engines:
A good way to do a highly effective search that is customized to your topic is to try out topic- specific engines , such as the following:
1-Scirus is excellent if you are searching for scientific info.
2-Topix , created by the founders of the Open Directory Project, may be the Internet’s largest news site because it draws upon articles from more than 7,000 media outlets. However, it is mainly American based. For Canadian content, try www.topix.net/world/canada.
My personal favorites
Some of my personal favorites, but they are not heavy weight search engines like the ones previously mentioned, are the following:

www.alltheweb.com
www.teoma.com- now www.ask.com
www.inktomi.com- yahoo for small business
www.dogpile.com
www.search.com
