Hey, neato. :D

I particularly like that scholar.google.com. Arxiv or lexis it isn't, but makes a very nice supplement.

Who is better, more accurate, more liberal?:

Dear god. Google is really starting to become quite the monopoly for internet information. I wonder what would happen if they go bust?

A few weeks ago, I couldn't access google search for about half a day. It didn't take me long to shrug it off and use Altavista instead, although it felt a little alien at first. People adapt pretty quickly.

The real question is, which alternative search engine would respond (to the increased demand and different expectations) the fastest?

It's nice but it's a pain to find stuff like landmarks. For example to find the Statue of Liberty I had to use Google maps to locate the place.
OTOH if you want to find the closest MacDo then Google Earth (MacEarth?) delivers.

BTW who painted the Statue of Liberty blue? :P

Works in Moz but not in Safari. Interesting idea...

the link in >>10 does it for japanese (typing "わ" gives a list starting with "早稲田大学"), while the link in >>11 doesn't (typing "わ" gives a list starting with "わかば")

I meant fixed in the sense that it's in frickin' English, otaku.

(Note: Ignore the above comment if you are actually a native Japanese speaker and therefore have a good reason for searching for things in Japanese.)

You'll have to do alot of appending of this kind to keep up with your usual resentments against otakudom around here, Albright!LC/IWhc3yc.

Does anyone know whether you can include characters like % in your Google searches somehow?

While looking for the answer myself, I found this:
The aim of this section, simply stated, is to offer for free, to anyone, a "summa" of all possible knowledge about google.

If you need a one-stop shop for all Google search engines, Google Total will show you the way.
