I know of wiby.me , but the 'random' feature only really works for that. I'd like to be able to search Google while 'filtering out sites that are in the Alexa top 100k' or something like that.
Also, I really appreciate sites like Accursed farms that showcase stuff I've never really heard of us well ''and also personally curate and rank them''. I'd like to see more of this than just movies/games/anime. I'd like to see this done with news organizations, websites, etc.. Along these lines, I'd like to find old webrings too like this or this.
I guess, I just feel like search engines really suck now.
Protip: Google searches support regex expressions.
For example:
That's going to give you results for anything with the words "computer" or "laptop" and "xp" and MUST have XP in it, ignoring microsoft.com pages and the url MUST contain the word "support" though the allinurl seems to be a little freaky wonky right now.
Or you could just use http://www.millionshort.com which will skip the first X results (by default, a million results are skipped but you can change that)
Or you could use http://www.dogpile.com which is a meta-search engine which searches the search engines.
Or you could use http://www.kartoo.com/ which breaks things into categories for you.
Or you could use http://www.ask.com which is a natural query search engine (ask it a question, don't give it keywords)
