This could invlove linking search results (try your search on etc)

This could be standard link or promoting the other engines.

I am open to ideas to help other SE owners!
1. Shall this be niche engines?
2. How is it possible to compete with big three? KW's: Hardware, bandwith, financial and human resources etc.
3. I see an argument for better meta search engines, but none of them have been very popular so long.

Example: How popular is this resource?
4. May be the way forward is a combination of a better automated and human editied indexing. There are statistical methods to draw fairly accurate conclusions about a population by taking a small sample.
