Search Engines that Inspired by Google

Search Engines are great for searching contents for the web. The search result is targeted by the keyword we type. Some Search Engines are reliable and some are unreliable. I have found some Search Engines trying to be like google or may be they are Inspired by Google Search Engines.

Here are 4 Search Engines that Inspired by Google



Toogle - Toogle is a Text version of Googles Image Search. This site borrows heavily from Googles own layout and design.

Mininova is the biggest torrent search engine and directory on the net. Mininova started in January 2005 as an alternative to the (at that time very popular) SuprNova, which went offline at the end of 2004 due to legal issues.

Torrentz is similar to Bittorrent.com in that it doesn't actually store the torrents on their servers but outsources to many of the sites included in this study. This is one of the only search engines that gives you the ability to search for files within the torrents. They only index torrents that have tested active with at least one seed which makes the quality of there index the best. It is not the best option if you are looking for something that is hard to find, torrents that have no seeds pull themselves together all the time.
