Search Legitimate Encyclopedias Only

Tired of searching for something and only getting "answers" from bored 8-year-olds on Yahoo Answers?

Me too.

Try blekko.com filtered search that will search only legitimate encyclopedias (Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, and other self-professed "expert" sites are excluded).

Compare blekko & google search results:

"Time Travel" on Google
"Time Tavel" on Blekko

Notice how this gem will not be included in Blekko results:

The Time Travel Fund[tm]

We believe Time Travel will one day be possible, so we have started an investment fund that may one day pay for you to travel to the future.

I love Google, but unless they do something about the amount of garbage and spam in their search results, the smaller search engines that put more focus on quality will eat them alive. I feel like I'm back in the 90's where you'd try yahoo first, then lycos, then altavista to find what you're really looking for.

Anyone can write comments. However they will not show up immediately, as they will be checked for spam, relevance, etc...
