MSN Search (beta). I'll have to do comparisons between it, Google and Yahoo. What other search engines are still in the game? Teoma? Vivismo? A9 is there, but it uses Google for its results.

Also see this about Microsoft's new engine, via Kayode.

Actually Vivisimo uses other engines for results; their forte is clustering. See the FAQ for clusty (vivisimo's public site):

What sites does Clusty include in its meta-search?

Clusty queries results from Looksmart, Lycos, MSN, Open Directory, Overture, Gigablast, and Wisenut. Vivísimo chose these sites for their accurate results and quick return speeds. Some search engines object to being included in a meta-search, so we are unable to use their results.

Note the omission of Google and Ask, who are obviously the ones who objected.
