WiseNut Search Overview

Like Teoma, WiseNut is a crawler-based search engine that attracted attention when it appeared on the scene in 2001. Also like Teoma, WiseNut features good relevancy. Unlike Teoma, WiseNut has a large database, making it nearly as comprehensive as Google, AllTheWeb and Inktomi.

Unfortunately the WiseNut database has had a history of being months out of date. However LookSmart bought WiseNut in April 2002, and supposedly did some major updates in late 2003. Assuming the revamp happened, WiseNut may begin delivering on its initial promise.
