You might want to look at these sites as well:

CNET's search engine page (nearly 450 search engines):
    http://www.search.com/

Beaucoup! (500+ search engines):
    http://www.beaucoup.com/

    an alternate site to search from:
    http://www.linkstar.com/home/partners/search-engines

Steve's Search Engines (4,000 search engines and databases):
    http://www.vds.com.au/steve/search/search.html

You might also wish to try out "Inference FIND", a parallel web 
search using about a half dozen standard search engines:
    http://www.inference.com/ifind/

Hope these are useful!
