- Infotiger and seekport are improving.
- Right Dao seems to be missing recent results compared to others in its

 These engines pass most of the tests listed in the "methodology" section. All of them seem relatively privacy-friendly. I wouldn't recommend using these engines to find specific answers; they're better for learning about a topic by finding interesting pages related to a set of keywords.
 
-* Right Dao: very fast, good results. Passes the tests fairly well. It plans on including query-based ads if/when its userbase grows.⁸ For the past few months, its index seems to have focused more on large, established sites rather than smaller, independent ones.

 These engines fail badly at a few important tests. Otherwise, they seem to work well enough.
 
-* seekport: The interface is in German but it supports searching in English just fine. The default language is selected by your locale. It’s really good considering its small index; it hasn’t heard of less common terms (e.g. “Seirdy”), but it’s able to find relevant results in other tests. The server does not support TLS.
+* Infotiger: My favorite engine in this section. It offers advanced result filtering and sports a somewhat large index. It allows site submission for English and German pages. The fastest-improving engine in this section; I look forward to the day it "graduates" to the previous section. Infotiger also has a Tor hidden service.

 * Exalead: slow, quality is hit-and-miss. Its indexer claims to crawl the DMOZ directory, which has since shut down and been replaced by the Curlie directory. No relevant results for “Oppenheimer” and some other history-related queries. Allows submitting individual URLs for indexing, but requires solving a Google reCAPTCHA and entering an email address.
 * ExactSeek: small index, disproportionately dominated by big sites. Failed multiple tests. Allows submitting individual URLs for crawling, but requires entering an email address and receiving a newsletter. Webmaster tools seem to heavily push for paid SEO options. It also powers SitesOnDisplay and Blog-search.com.
-* Infotiger: A small index that seems to find relevant results. It allows site submission for English and German pages. It also features a "similarity" search to query pages similar to a given link, with mixed results.

Could they get *automatically* discovered by your crawler, indexed, and included in the first page of results for a certain query?
