Studysearch
An Australian teacher designed seach engine for students in both Primary and Secondary. http://www.studysearch.com.au
Kartoo
KartOO is a metasearch engine with
visual display interfaces. When you click on OK, KartOO launches the query to a set of search engines, gathers the results,
compiles them and represents them in a series of interactive maps.
Surfwax
A metasearch engine that decisively proves that "too much of a good thing is wonderful."
Google Directory
Instead of going
to the straight Google Search point the students to the directory link because everyone
knows Google but a surprising number
of kids don't know about the
directory. It also gives me the opportunity to teach the different
ways you can search

Hakia
Hakia calls itself a “meaning-based (semantic) search engine.” They’re trying to
provide search results based on meaning match, rather than by the popularity of search terms.
KidsClick
Another directory but
human
edited - I like the "See this through a Librarian's eyes" option -
Good search results for middle school students
- features a "reading
age" indicator in search results.

Vivísimo
Rather than focusing just on search engine
result ranking, we realized that grouping results into topics, or "clustering," made for better search and discovery.
