Agreed Chiyo, the big 4 (Google/WiseNut/AllTheWeb/Teoma) are head and shoulders above everyone else that has come before them. Checked Wisenut lately? They've addressed their speed and stability issues to a large degree. This last crawl and indexing for them has produced very relevant results.

I holding off making any judgements about Teoma until we see a larger db. Is it there already? Doesn't feel like it to me. At 150'ish million pages, that's in the minor league stuff compared to the other three. I also am trying to reserve judgement until they get fully AJ'ized. AJ doesn't have a _real_ track record yet in the pure search field and with mountians of debt apparently pilling up, the heat is on them to produce. How that is all going to affect Teoma is yet to be seen. I hope they can put it all together to be another top notch engine.
