The Mother Load <URL:http://www.cosmix.com/motherload/> has just added a new
search resource to its existing metasearch and directory of directories.
The Mother Load is a searchable directory of search engines and
directories that helps narrow your search results to a manageable number
of links that are worth bookmarking. The Mother Load is also the home of
a fast metasearch that searches 5 or 9 search engines. It collates the
results, eliminates redundancies, and displays them for you.

We are now proud to announce the Insane Search ............

The Insane search has just taken up residence on the Mother Load. It
allows you to search engines, newspapers, magazines, government
documents, mailing lists, newsgroups, and more. The search will let you:
set the query to keywords or concept; search for whole words or
substrings; and set boolean matching. And below all of these options is a
list of all of the available search engines and resources. You can select
the sources by checking each one individually, or the whole group.

The Mother Load Insane Search sources include:

The Insane Search has recently been finished, and is in a de-bugging period.
Please come try the most through search on the internet. The search is
forked, so the searches all happen simultaneously. The more sites you check,
the longer it takes, of course. Which is where the regular Web Search comes
in.

The simplified Web Search also offers the most thorough search for your time.
