* Wiby: I love this one. It focuses on smaller independent sites that capture the spirit of the “early” web. It’s more focused on “discovering” new interesting pages that match a set of keywords than finding a specific resources. I like to think of Wiby as an engine for surfing, not searching. Runnaroo occasionally featured a hit from Wiby (Runnaroo has since shut down). If you have a small site or blog that isn’t very “commercial”, consider submitting it to the index. Does not qualify because it seems to be powered only by user-submitted sites; it doesn't try to "crawl the Web".
* Mwmbl: like YaCy, it's an open-source engine whose crawling is community-driven. Users can install a Firefox addon to crawl pages in its backlog. Unfortunately, it doesn't qualify because it only crawls pages linked by hand-picked sites (e.g. Wikipedia, GitHub, domains that rank well on Hacker News). The crawl-depth is "1", so it doesn't crawl the whole Web (yet).
* Search My Site: Similar to Marginalia and Teclis, but only indexes user-submitted personal and independent sites. It optionally supports IndieAuth. Its API powers this site's search results; try it out using the search bar at the bottom of this page. Does not qualify because it's limited to user-submitted and/or hand-picked sites.
* Blog Surf: a search engine for blogs with RSS/Atom feeds. Does not qualify because all blogs submitted to the index require manual review, but it seems interesting. Its "MarketRank" algorithm seems to give it a bias towards sites popular on "Hacker" "News".
