Google has always been my favorite one but recently I've found an abundance of search engines useful for educators. Below is my list of top 10 search engines other than Google.
1. Eyeplorer - A unique and excellent search engine designed around a wheel format that lets a user take notes via an online widget.
2. Oamos - A wonderful visual experience that is unlike anything else around.
3. Quintura - A fun "tag cloud" style site that lets users embed word chains into a site.
4. BevyFind - A search engine that speeds up the searching process by combining different elements into one page.
5. Kngine - An excellent "Web 3.0" search engine built on semantics.
6. Spezify - Get visual results with a sticky-type interface that incorporates all sorts of media content.
7. Scoopler - One of the best real-time search engines on the way w/ a built in button to share results across multiple social networks.
8. Webkruz - Get search results in visual thumbnails w/ blurbs of text underneath.
9. Sputtik - A great way to search for results on the web w/ a variety of content covered in different visual ways.
10. Feedmil - A nice way to search where users can adjust their results via a sliding panel that controls the searching criteria.

Beyond Google: Top 10 Search Engines by David Kapuler
I've checked out these search engines and my impression is that most of them are initially visually engaging but otherwise not noteworthy. In contrast, searchcredible.com offers a variety of search engines that focus on real content.

I am very surprised to see that sweetsearch nor sweetsearch4me is not listed in here. It is a free search engine in which the sites have been selected by educators as okay for students to go to. SweetSearch4Me is the search engine for the younger students. I was able to see this search demoed at ISTE this summer in conjunction with YoLink and find this to be a powerful tool that I will have my students use.
