Several search engines can be removed as they are no longer active:

- Alpha Beta Yahoo has a note that it will be shutting down on January 25th, 2011.
- Cuil was shut down on September 17, 2010.
- Bloglines was shut down on November 15, 2010.

Several search engines give identical content:

- AllTheWeb is identical to Yahoo with a different logo, even the favicon is the purple Yahoo Y!
- Altavista is also Yahoo with a different logo.

A few new/newly popular search engines should be added:

- DuckDuckGo.
- Blekko.
- Ixquick.

I can work on this. I thought of two more sites that could be added:
- Search.com
- dmoz Open Directory.

I've started working on this. I need to go through and test all of the categories for out of date sites and poke around to see if anything new is out. Let me know if any of you have seen any new news or video search tools around you would like stubbed in.
