Bling bling www.ixquick.com is to the best of my knowledge, a relatively new search engine. Having clicked on one of its ads whilst surfing, I gave it a go and was pleasantly suprised. I now use them quite often and rank it after google and altavista. So how does it work? As usual, you'll type in what you want to find. It then shows you which search engines it'll look in, these are AOL, Altavista UK, EuroSeek, Excite UK, Fast Search, GoTo, Hotbot UK, Infoseek UK, LookSmart UK, MSN UK, Mirago Scotland, UKMax, Yahoo Somehow, I'm sure it configures UK search engines, which I guess is fair enough ... more

Ixquick is a meta search engine, which means that it runs your search through a number of individual search engines. What distinguishes Ixquick from most other meta searchers is that it combines all the results, ranks them by relevance and then presents only a subsection out of the total found. For example, it may offer you 56 pages out of a total of 472,789 pages found! I use Ixquick on a regular basis both for work purposes and also when answering questions on a couple of expert sites. It is my experience that the results selected by Ixquick are usually very relevant to my query, especially ... more

Ixquick.com is yet another search engine. Now, as someone who uses the internet an +awful+ lot I always try and check out search engines which I’m told good things about. I remember finding Google when it was still in its beta phase... what a treasure! Sadly, Ixquick.com is not another Google. Ixquick.com starts off well. A simple search page rather than the cluttered nightmare of Yahoo and others. However, things start to slow down. Ixquick searches through a number of directories and then integrates the results to show you the best matches. It’s this integration of the results that makes ... more

search engines are all the same. You type in a catagorie and it finds some answers! This site claims to be the "the worlds most powerful metasearch engine", so is it? *layout* The layout of the start page is the simplest I have ever seen in a search engine. A simple rounded square in the center of a blue screen holds the search bar and beneath that a few catagories! the text is fairly easy to read! *searching* now for the crunch! does this search engine live up to expectations? After searching the look of tha age changes entirely! No longer a simple layout but larger text with a huge advert at ... more

After using what seemed like most of the other search engines and not having been too impressed by a lot of the results, I decided to start using ixquick and I have stuck with them. They claim to be the World's fastest search engine and maybe they're right. The results that come up are 90% relevant in my case, which isn't at all bad, and what I like is that when I click on one of the results, the site comes up in a new window, each time. As soon as you type in the words you are looking for and click to go, the results are almost immediate which is great. No more stupid search results either ... more
