GigaBlast

Gigablast offers instant page indexing for free. You are limited in the number of pages you can submit to Gigablast per day, but Gigablast allows instant web indexing of your pages. Though its index size is rather meager compared to some of the larger engines such as Google or AllTheWeb, Gigablast still provides a quick check. If your site does not list high on GigaBlast with a smaller directory (and a presumably less complex ranking algorithm) than most major search engines, you will not likely list high on the other engines.

Remember that a top listing in Gigablast does not guarantee a top listing elsewhere, but it does offer a quick check if you are on the right path. A fomer InfoSeek employer, originally Matt Wells wrote the code for Gigablast in C by himself. Recently he has added management.

Matt's search engine is runing at about half capacity on eight computers. If he can find more resources he may have a shot to go big time with his engine! He has been adding features such as page cache to the GigaBlast search engine.
