Aha. Well, so far I'm finding that it gives better results than I've been getting from google in years. I mostly search programming or linux related questions. It's another metasearch engine which goes through multiple search engines and presents you with the results it thinks are relevant. It will show you which search engine(s) it pulled each result from as well. Seems to almost completely get rid of blogspam and advertisements and just return real information.

Edit: Also, it brings back the cached feature

Much Later Edit: It is, in fact, very good at hiding advertising/shopping sites. I had to switch to google for a search the other day when I was looking to order something online because searxng had filtered out all of the etail sites in its results.
