Jux2.com filters out dulpicates from different search engines.

You might want to take a look at jux2.com, which is a meta search engine that delivers results in a different way. It looks at three main search engines, Google, Yahoo and AskJeeves and gives you the top results as overlapping results from any two of the search engines. The idea is to not have to list overlapped results but once.

It's explained on their website this way:

"If the search engines are providing top results that are very different from each other, then by using only one search engine, Internet searchers are potentially missing relevant results."

Another aspect of this search technique is that the websites listed high on two search engines are probably a pretty safe bet as to what you might be wanting to find.

These secondary search engines are aggregating results for a better overall result. This is what I believe will become the next major trend in search. In the information overload that people experience, they're going to look for solutions which offer the best results more quickly. I don't think the future is populated with major search engines, but many different small entities which tailor results to a specific audience of search.
