For Linux inquiries, what search engines do you use?

Here is a couple, I like. (I would like more).

googlubuntu (http://www.googlubuntu.com/)

LinuxSearch.org (http://linuxsearch.org/)

First one I always add is the Mycroft search plugin which is a database of search plugins:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/mycroft-project/


Then I add the the 1st and 3rd from this page:

http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=ubuntuforums


and there are many other Linux search addons you can find there.

I used to search for search engines there, until I found Add to Search Bar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-to-search-bar/) extension. With that extension you can automatically add search engines to Firefox from almost any web site, with just a few clicks.

YaCy (http://yacy.net/) is looking interesting. Unfortunately it requires a client to be installed to search.
