AfterVote is a search aggregator that combines results from the big three search engines (Google, Yahoo!, and MSN) and ranks them for you.
But that’s not all. The search results page shows you how each result ranks in each of the major engines. It also shows the page rank, Alexa ranking, and Diggs number. Best of all you can sort your results individually by search engine or ranking (Alexa, Page, Diggs, etc.).
This search engine does have a social side allowing you to rank and view other user rankings for each site. There is also automatic ranking and blocking of blacklist sites to make results more accurate.
Each result offers some great features like one click voting, quick bookmarking, archive and whois lookup, as well as the ability to manually block unwanted sites so they do not turn up in future searches.
When searching with this do not use quotations to do phrase searching as it will return an error message or crash your browser. This works best using IE rather than Firefox.
