Movie search engine-nanocrowd

Have noticed Nanocrowd-a new movie search engine. It has some features that some people may like such as "movies most like" and "movies least like", "Mymovies" and others, but the search engine seems not working very well. for example, when search "break up" as title, it doesn't bring up anything, you have to type the way of spelling of the title-"the break-up". And the titles in the database are limited at this point. Mama Mia is not yet in the database. IMDb is a better choice.

Google added music "one box" search feature

You probably already used or are using this feature, but here is the official announcement from Google, and commentary news coverage from Matt McGee

However, it doesn't come out as "One Box" for some other musicians such as Michael Jackson. I was puzzled. If anybody knows please point out?

Google's one box, plus box, 10 pack and direct answer

Google’s “normal” listings show the title of a web page, a description of it (also called a “snippet”) and the web page’s URL. However, Google also has other listings that appear within search results that are designed to give access to some of its specialized search tools (such as news search), to allow more information to be shown than a standard answer provides or to show answers directly within the search page.

Google's Fast Flip

Google is developing a product called Fast Flip that aims to make it simpler and faster to browse through news articles on the Web. According to Google, fast Flip lets readers glance at pages and browse through them quickly without having to wait for multiple page elements to load, which can significantly slow the rendering of articles, especially if they have multimedia content.Google's announcement and More about the Fast flip

Search engines comparision

Websites allow you to compare searches from the major engines:
1)Blind search-you don't know the names of three search engines, you run a search and get a three column set of results - simply choose the one set of results that you're happiest with. You'll then see the engines popped up; Bing, Google or Yahoo. (I tried several searches both the web and images, and I felt that the results are inconsistent, sometimes the performance of a particular search engine is surprisingly good or bad. And the search results from this site of a particular engine are totally different if you do a separate search from the search engine site. I have doubts on the credibility of this site.)
2)Bing and Google (believe me, you don't need much searches to find out that Google is the winner!)
3) Triple me-does a search across Yahoo, Google and MSN Live
4). GrabAll allows you to compare two pane results for Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing, DMOZ, AltaVista, Gigablast and Looksmart.
And more like these:
