or image search, and is pretty well colorless. How did it make this list? It came up with 10,200,000,000 results for "a". That is the sole reason.

ReallyBigSearch.com has a decent homepage, but doesn't have any color. It rates above ScrubtheWeb, but just barely.

FindItQuick.com

With 12,755,709,868 results brought in, FindItQuick.com gets the award for the most results. It also comes with free e-mail, free screensavers, weather, jobs, travel, hosting, and shopping. If it weren't for the small font, this site might just be perfect. It even has videos.

With all the features offered, plus the enormous amount of results, FindItQuick.com could be the top pick as the best Google replacement site.

Web-Search.com

Web-Search. com is more of a metasearch engine than an actual search engine. For those of you out there who don't speak geek, a metasearch engine searches major search engines and compiles the results, eliminating doubles. Web-Search.com allows you to choose which search engine it pulls its results from. It has most of the normal search engines, plus an area code search and a zip code search.

MyWay.com

MyWay.c om is another of those quasi-metasearch engines. MyWay actually searches three major search engines: Ask.com, Google.com, and Yahoo.com; and then tabs the results by the search engine. There is an Ask tab, a Google tab, and a Yahoo tab, for those who didn't understand. It filtered out all the duplicate results and came up with a grand total of all three of 11,484,347,464 results in 1.02 seconds all together. While that appears slow compared to the other search engines listed, it is still extremely fast. The difference is still barely noticeable. MyWay also has news, videos, images, and MP3 searches.

MyWay also has free online e-mail. The homepage doesn't
