Kudos to Kosmix for landing $20M in funding and for trying to change the face of search.
But you should check out NeXplore (www.NeXplore.com), another search engine working mightily to change the face of search.
With approx 4M unique visitors/month, NeXplore is faring far better than Kosmix, Cuil, Mahalo, Searchme, CoolIris, etc.
Don’t take my word for it. Check out NeXplore vs others on Compete.com
