YA search engine

IceRocket - Every search is a direct hitTrying out IceRocket, where "every search is a direct hit." Or so it says.


It is primarily a blog search engine, relying mostly on feeds and syndication to crawl contents in the blogosphere. It offers other search services as well: for web pages, images, news, even phone pics and multimedia.

I haven't compared its hits with that of, say, Google blog search or Technorati.
